The Blue Brasilion

Graeme Brown was like that when he first came to Cowden, he had to beef up as he was easily knocked off the ball, fast forward a couple of seasons and he could hold off defenders no bother, was rather good at it.

March 13th, 1999 was when the game was played. Yeah some of the shirts from this period felt a size bigger on you, lol.

Yeah was the first game against East Fife the same season and it ended 4-0. Yeah Shannon got sent off, that season and the season after East Fife were a bunch of dirty b******s. Near enough got at least a sending off in every game., 3 in 1 game, ha! Did Levein no kick up a stick in the media about the Methil tinks diry tactics?

Whilst having a clearout i came across a couple of old newspaper match reports that i kept but completely forgot about. From Pasquale Bruno turning out for Cowden to Broonie's late winning header in Methil.

Billy Spence, Alan Mckenzie, Sandy Ross, Sumo Lamont and wee Bucks in 91/92, Mark Yardley, Graeme Brown, Keith Wright, Liam Buchanan, Pat Clarke, Gareth Wardlaw, Greg Stewart, Kane Hemmings.

Tomana in action in a Cowden shirt.

Forgot about Mark 'wee Burnie' Bradley aswell.

OK, 1st choice, Markus P, Toorie, Gus Malone, John Wright. 2nd choice, Mark Mckenzie (in 2nd div champ winning season) , Colin Scott, Neil Irvine and either Gomis or Tomana. Better mention Baz McMahon as he is my oldest kids head coach, ha!

Davie Watt, Jimmy Boyle, Mark Baxter, Dean Brett, all excellent. I maybe the only one, but thought Robbie Neilson did OK when he was on loan to us from Hearts, had some long throw on him.

Remember Ross Godfrey between Hutchy and John Martin.

When I first started going to Cowden games Ray Allan had just left so never had the privilege. Did not mind Buzz Lamont and John Martin but for me has to be Davie Hay.

98/99 was worn by various players, Ally Hamilton, Graeme Brown, Wullie Stewart and JP Burns, Toorie wore it a couple of times. 99/00 various players wore it in first half of the season Paul Simpson, JP, Broonie and Murray. 2nd half of season it alternated between Broonie and Murray with Broonie wearing it the most.

Falkingham tops the list, karma though from his fcuk up in the play off. Fanny Pannery was a right t*t. Big Mad Dog's revenge on him was pleasing.

Was mikko Pattelainen a loan signing? Thought Robbie Neilson was ok when he was on loan from Hearts, those long throw ins he could do. Going off topic anyone remember when Pasquale Bruno did a cameo for us?

Cheers for that.

What was the other keepers name we had that season? Just can't for the life of me remember it.

video on youtube from the Cowden v Killie match in 1993 has big shug wearing the no.6 jersey.

Completely forgot about Shug.

Just WOW!

Cheers pal

Anyone have the old league review books kicking about, did they not have a full list of who played in what position?

Was thinking Neil Irvine for some reason, but McGovern maybe a good shout.

Just seen this player shirt on ebay from 91-93. Anyone remember who the regular no.6 was in those 2 seasons?

Can vaguely remeber that aswell, certain it was from a John Wright cross. Can recall who against though.

Kenny Milne who we had on loan from Hearts in the late 90's, pretty sure he ran with the ball from his own goal to the coo shed end and scored, beating half the opposition team en route. Think it was either against Berwick or Montrose. Greg Stewart's Vs Dundee in 2-0 game at Central. As for own goals scored for us, last game of 90/91 season. an Alloa player scored a diving header from our corner, any striker would have been proud of it.
