Ah'll need tae hae a "rummage aroon ma drawers" this weekend i kept a scrap book that particular season but i know i have other stuff around too just not sure where.

my uncle lived in stevenage so my mum and dad packed me on the overnight bus at hamilton and my uncle got me somewhere close to stevenage and i was able to ride with him on the spurs supporters bus to the first leg at white heart lane. Make no mistake, spurs were a good team and did not play their reserves!! then 21 years later i was able to travel back from texas and go to the '91 cup final with him. it was my uncle that wsa responsible for me supporting the well. Sadly missed now but lots of fond memories.

here are another 2 for your reading pleasure v Bahia and V Flamengo

Ok this is my first try at this kind of stuff so be patient. I hope I am pasting links to enable you to read some old motherwell reports from the texaco cup spurs game at fir park

...and either of those are aceptable as they should have little to no detrimental effect on our efforts in the SPL.

Yes! Yes he is.

agreed faddy already said no but i thought he would have been playing down south by now. for the most part don't care where our ex players go ............ as long as it's not to any of our rivals helping another team in the SPL get points. agree also that he would give the club a lift...........despite weeyins point, which is pretty valid, i think faddy would certainly get the place buzing even more and help us perhaps stay at the top. its one thing getting to the top, harder trying to stay there! also agree that top priority should be replacing jennings but that does not seem to be happening. We may just have to relay on one our existing players developing into that role. If we are not signing a jennings replacement then again perhaps faddy would give us more going forward so that we start to win games 3 - 2 4 - 3 instead of 1 - 0 . Either way I trust McCall and the board to be doing what's best for the club and will not grumble whichever way it pans out.

One of my old favourites was ian Clinging. never see his name mentioned much on here at all for some reason. Hardly a pick on him but he could beat players and score goals and a local lad from wishaw ( i think ) did he ever play for anyone other than us?

Shouldnt be too much of a risk if McCall has seen him in training with his own squad of players for the past 3 months ?

thanks Yabba sounds like i'll need the wifes help on that

yes wilson humphries was my English teacher at Dalziel and an officer in the BB's at company 2. I touhgt it was terrific having a legend like that around. i have some scanned newspaper reports ( jpegs ) from spurs game but i have no clue how to get the on here help anyone?? i also have reports from Bahia game and flamenco in which we beat the brazilians 3 - 0 and 9 - 2 i still got to scan these 2 though

Crowd was 22,688 that evening !! I have a stack of newspaper reports I'll need to scan them and post them up.

1987 UEFA cup final Utd lost 2 -1 on aggregate to FC Goteborg and yes i did look it up :-) interesting fact also that utd have 100% record against barcelona in european competitions

I've decided not to go.

Not playing for anyone can't be good for Faddy and certainly isn't getting him any money. Since we already had negotiations with him you would think that bot h sides could give a little and come to some sort of an agreement ???

i think we have enough players that can play wide. The main area of concern seems to be filling the role vacated by Jennings.

WHY?

I would say so daver.

So do teams have to declare squads now for the season or part of it? how does that work for signing free agents? i remember when football was a much less complicated sport.

i hope we give them a real drubbing and I can't wait for the game to be done and over and out of the way regardless of the result. So we can get back to focusing on SPL football. Im already tired of all the talk surrounding them again.

So what's the average age of that team ?

with a bit of luck maybe he got injured running for the plane.

hopefully we can turn that into some goals Gilmour.

I would think also that any player we sell, there should be a clause where we get money on future sale. Maybe this is already standard practise?

I'm in the same camp as wellfan and BB I think we will gub them handily!
