Raidernation Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Was thinking about this in respect to Aberdeen players (outside of the obvious ones from the Mid 80's) that would have collected a clean sweep of medals, 70 cup, 76 LC, 80 PL and possibly 82 cup. Could think of Harper and Clark from 70 to 80 and Stuart Kennedy for 76 to 82 but probably no others. Got me thinking, how many players have a "clean sweep" (even with more than one club) EXCLUDING any won with the ugly sisters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brig O'Lea Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Between 1956 and 1960 Hearts won two league titles, one Scottish Cup and two League Cups so there must be a few in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Raidernation - I suspect there will be more than you think. Even limiting it to players doing it with 1 non-OF club and actually playing in the finals: Hearts Bobby Kirk - 2x League, 1x SC, 2x LC Tommy McKenzie - 1x League, 1x SC, 1x LC Dave Mackay - 1x League, 1x SC, 2x LC Fred Glidden - 1x League, 1x SC, 2x LC John Cumming - 2x League, 1x SC, 4x LC Alex Young - 1x League, 1x SC, 1x LC Alfie Conn - 1x League, 1x SC, 1x LC Willie Bauld - 2x League, 1x SC, 2x LC Jimmy Wardhaugh - 1x League, 1x SC, 2x LC Ian Crawford - 2x League, 1x SC, 2x LC Aberdeen So many possibilities it would take too long to look it up, but the following won all 3 and a European trophy: Jim Leighton - 3x League, 4x SC, 1x LC, 1x ECWC, 1x ESC Alex McLeish - 3x League, 5x SC, 2x LC, 1x ECWC, 1x ESC Willie Miller - 3x League, 4x SC, 3x LC, 1x ECWC, 1x ESC Neale Cooper - 2x League, 4x SC, 1x LC, 1x ECWC, 1x ESC Neil Simpson - 2x League, 3x SC, 1x LC, 1x ECWC, 1x ESC Stewart McKimmie - 2x League, 3x SC, 3x LC, 1x ESC Rougvie, McMaster, Weir, Black, Hewitt, Bell - ? I can't seem to find a line-up for it but a number of them would also have won the 1980 Drybrough Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When will a Scot ever be at four World Cup Finals again!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmic Joe Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Non OF players are at a premium in this category. Gordon Smith, three time champion with Hibernian, Hearts and Dundee failed to win a Scottish Cup. Willie Finlay, three time League Cup winner with East Fife and Scottish Cup winner with Clyde didn't win the 1st or A Division. Maurice Malpas won the Scottish Cup and Premier League but not the League Cup with Dundee United... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Bairn Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 I'd imagine it would go through the roof if you allow OF players on the condition that at least one tournament was won with a non OF club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ark loyal Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Johnny Aitkenhead was in the Hibs squad that won the League in 1948. He was also in the Motherwell team that won the scottish cup in1952 and the league cup in 1950. I don't know if he played much of a part in the Hibs team when they won the championship. He only played 22 games for them between 46 and 49. ETA - This suggest he did play some part in the Hibs League winning team.. http://www.fitbastats.com/hibs/player_games.php?playerid=6064 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Narey wasn't stripped for United in SC final 94 in the days of 3 subs but did play in earlier rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raidernation Posted June 3, 2015 Author Share Posted June 3, 2015 I'd imagine it would go through the roof if you allow OF players on the condition that at least one tournament was won with a non OF club They can have been OF players at some point, but all 3 medals won outwith the twisted sisters. (Then can have won some with them, but a complete set outwith the clubs of shame) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacksgranda Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Here are the team celebrating their 1980 cup win. Many of the team are on your list. The Dons didn't win a cup in 1980. (Unless that's the Dryborough Cup, which technically speaking was season 1980/81.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eednud Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Did Les Sealey not play the replay V Palace He did but according to this he gave his medal to Jim Leighton then the FA then gave both medals. So I wonder if Sealy got the original back from JL or the new one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
