Andy_P Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 I've been in contact with a couple of (very very helpful) Cove Rangers fans for some stuff for the programme next week. Whilst in discussion one of the gents asked if I could shed some light on a pre-season game we played against them in mid-80's. Beyond what he knew already from 'Well Again I was able to tell him Andy Walker scored twice but ideally he's after teams, subs, times of goals if anyone might have it scribbled down somewhere. I'm wondering if the likes of Brainier, Keith Brown, Graham Barnstaple, Rickoza or indeed any of our resident stattos (regular posters or lurkers) might be able to assist. All info gratefully received! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ya Bezzer! Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 Nothing in the Motherwell programme that season, haven't found anything in the newspapers and obviously nothing in the Scottish Football Review League book which only covers competitive matches. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_P Posted December 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 Cheers for checking Ya Bezzer! I think it's a tall order and would probably need someone to have been there and taken note of the details for their own records. I have team-lines away up in boxes in the old man's loft from when my obsession was at it worst where I attended games against the likes of Stonehouse, Darvel and on Highland tours. But this particular one was just a couple of years before I started jotting things like that down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Izett Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 I've had a look at all the history books i have and they don't say a word about the game. Sorry i could help, best of luck with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Dog Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 Only 30p, worth a punt I'd say! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weeyin Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 Gordon (night)Mair and John (the Rile)Reilly in the same team. There was a force to be reckoned with. And everything Wishart brought to the table at full back, Derek Murray left behind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
