Hertha/BJFC1938 Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Best player to play with his country from that era for me is the ex shetttleston sweeper Brian smith who later stepped up to play for Clyde , class and accomplished player who read the game immensely , he could have played with any junior team in Scotland as he was immense .

Derek love was so notorious for it he eventually got denied stonewallers as his reputation went before him , some of his dives were incredible and refs got conned initially by him . Without a doubt the biggest culprit I've ever saw in the juniors for diving and he done it lots with us . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbaxters Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Fruit, veg, sweeties and a big range of crabbitness. Auchinleck's Jim Baxter was a paragon of the retail trade, in his fedora. Don't get me started on Annie Flynn! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kilsyth ranger Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Did George connelly of celtic fame not play for Oakley at some point? He came from that area a think.

kilsyth ranger Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Scotland squad was devine (arthurlie) meldrum (kilwinning) gemmell (Auchinleck) day (cumnock) Jones (downfield) Smith (shettleston) Smith (camelon) anderson (kilwinning) sinclair (lesmahagow) rennie (glenafton) mclaughlin (beith) Hendry (camelon) love (kilwinning) mackay (Tayport) Spence (Kelty) harkness (cumnock) Sadly am at an age now where I remember alot of those players now, big sinky who went on to have a spell managing us was a big classy player, devine played in goals for us too, a mind gemmill an day, and the two smiths, all good players an hard as nails too, mclauglin played on the wing? Mind him too, an I'm sure the guy harkness's nickname was rusty? Feel free anyone to correct me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
