jim holmes Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Lovers of Falkirk! I am pulling together an article on Willie McGuire and looking to collate some fan anecdotes, memories and thoughts. The article will appear in the Burst Baw fan website. Would love to hear from you. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 He did the Malteser Challenge at a Fans Sportsman Breakfast a couple of years ago. Managed about 30 and it raised £2/300. The challenge is playing keepie up with a Malteser from those who don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim holmes Posted February 10, 2016 Author Share Posted February 10, 2016 Thanks. Yes I saw the coverage of that at the time. It was brilliant! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaggerG Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 My abiding memory of wee Wullie was the screamer he scored against East Fife at the Hope St end which, I think, secured the title for us. Think maybe big Gordon Marshall was in goals for EF too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDust Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 My abiding memory of wee Wullie was the screamer he scored against East Fife at the Hope St end which, I think, secured the title for us. Think maybe big Gordon Marshall was in goals for EF too? 2nd place for us this time when it was two automatically up.I'm sure Marshall, Burgess, Hugh Hill and Stevie Kirk were playing for East Fife that day. Wullie was one hell of a supersub for us in the tail end, coming on either winning a penalty or making us much more dangerous in the final third. His time mirrored when the zx spectrum was the PlayStation in some manner. I had a football management game for the spectrum called Brian cloughs football fortune, which combined playing on the spectrum with a board game. The game had around 200 player cards and 10 cards you could name yourself, of which I had Willie McGuire in there as an utility player with 5 stars, others were Roddy Manley, Bryan Purdie, Jimmy Gilmour, Alan Irvine and Geordie Watson. I don't think I gave any of the others as high as the 5 star rating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim holmes Posted February 14, 2016 Author Share Posted February 14, 2016 Boys, thanks for the comments. Really appreciate them. Ps I too have Mr Tennant (of Greenock!) for loss of memory. The barmaids never mentioned the side effects at the time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
