Any older posters know the Welsh player? May 3rd 1969 (if that is Tommy McLean behind Bobby Murdoch) Scotland won 5-3 long before the days of the fabled 4-6-0 formation 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would Scotland have had their sub as a goalkeeper that day? Was there an injury concern about Tommy Lawrence? If so, why play him? Makes no sense to me, and my memory isn’t working. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During his time at Liverpool, Lawrence won three caps for Scotland. His international debut came on 3 June 1963 in a friendly international in Dublin. ROI won the match 1–0. He had to wait six years for his second and third caps, a 1–1 draw with West Germany in a World Cup qualifier and a 5–3 victory over Wales in a British Home Championship match. During the latter appearance, his last international, Lawrence collided with the crossbar and had to be carried off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawrence was obviously one of quite a few goalies to be capped in the 60s. As an aside, his replacement in that game is famous for his name being given to the vet in all Creatures Great and Small. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Minertaur Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 A couple of things taken from the Cowdenbeath website. The Cowdenbeath squad in 1899 above and 1909 below. The 1979 team.

Dullard Bluteau Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 My mistake, I thought Herriot was Hibernian and Cooke was Dundee. Anyway the main point, they were ALL Scots. No ringers unlike nowadays. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamtart1972 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Tynecastle Park boasted 2 pitches at the time, legend has it, the land that Hearts aquired for the new ground still had to be used for grazing, part of the deal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway the main point, they were ALL Scots. No ringers unlike nowadays. My first thought was that none of our current ringers would have got anywhere near that team on ability never mind nationality. But largely the same team (Gray and Henderson in, Cooke and McLean out) went on to get beat 4-1 against England at Hampden, so maybe they weren't that good after all! (Dismal draw with N Ireland in between). That England game was my first ever live on TV game; had to walk to a house with a telly to watch it ... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
