Aye, I googled him. Thought he might have been invited as a thank you for his service, or just tagged along as he was a great Clyde man, but I suppose flights weren't cheap back then.
I don't think he kept too well and was unable to attend both the 1955 and 1958 Cup finals; the team bus stopped for a few seconds outside his flat in Bridgeton on the way back from Hampden with the trophy so he could see it from his window in '55, then in '58 they went one better, with Harry Haddock taking the cup into his living room so he could hold it.

Is that Mattha Gemmell with the hat and glasses in the middle?
It's Paddy Travers. Gemmell had retired by this point.

Clyde had two David Thomson's on their books in the late 50s and early 60s. One was a goalkeeper and the other an inside forward, who played together a few times.

I'm missing a fair few dates of birth particularly in the 19th and early 20th century but would be shocked if we've ever fielded anyone older.Maybe [mention=1592]CK[/mention] will be able to confirm but Lennon is surely the oldest ever player to make an appearance for Clyde? He must be registered as a player if he wasn't down as a trialist?
As for the game itself, a good win against a team with a few players who have played for the Celtic first team. Every one of their players would walk straight into our starting XI tbh. They were quick, great on the ball and passed us off the park at times but they can't defend. Our first two goals came from headers that should never really have resulted in goals. The third was an o.g, outstanding work from Lamont who sprinted about 50 yards to win the ball back and get us forward. His ball for Smith (and Lennon making a run!) was poor but he was absolutely knackered and got a bit of luck with the Celtic defender sliding it in the net.
Lyon did a decent enough job at right back when Cuddihy went off (he didn't look pleased at all), Lamont and Love worked their socks off as usual, Howie looked a lot better too.
We lined up with three centre-backs tonight, Rumsby in the middle of Howie and McNiff. Cuddihy and Allison as wing backs. McStay as a holding midfielder and Love, Wallace and Johnston all inter changing and supporting Smith. Lyon came on for Cuddihy a few minutes before the break and Lamont for Wallace at HT.
Celtic were fit and very quick coming forward but our defending in and around the box was better then what it has been recently. They lacked a cutting edge but their build up play and passing was good. After getting the second we sat back a bit and it became a 541. They started to get more space in the wide areas as the game progressed but Allison did well for the most part aided by Love (bar an obvious push for their penalty), until they began to tire. Smith was isolated for most of the second half but put in a good shift and was unlucky not to score twice. McStay more like his old self. McGee let an early cross slip through his hands but was otherwise solid, and made a couple of really good saves near the end. Lennon then strolled through the last few minutes.
A decent workout overall.0 -
Rules on the Glasgow FA website for this season say there must be at least 6 recognised first team players fielded.Is this genuinely going to be first-teams this season (OF excepted: albeit U21 + 2 overagers is still pretty experienced) or in reality will it just be youths like before (U18s)? Asking for a friend.
Clyde rested David Mitchell, Ray Grant and David Goodwillie. Three others were injured (and I imagine they would have played if fit) and Alex Petkov played for Hearts Reserves earlier today. The rest of the squad was used tonight, with Danny Lennon listing himself as a sub too.
Our youth teams are community teams who play in SYFA leagues as opposed to pro-youth/club academy, I assume they'll be on different registrations to SPFL so unsure if that'll have any impact on whether they are used or not. For Clyde anyway I think it'll be a fairly strong side being sent out.1 -
Looks like this will be back at first-team level (well, sort of) for the first time since the 1988-89 season, much to the delight of HibeeJibee I'm sure.
Celtic and Rangers will field colt teams (under-21s with 2 overage players). Clyde, Partick Thistle and Queen's Park to play a minimum of 6 recognised first team players. Two trialists permitted too.

looking for information on centre forward John Hodkinson (seen spelt as Hodgkinson) during his time with CLYDE , believe he was signed December 1911 from Newton Stewart. Does anyone know when he signed , his debut , goals scored , how long he was there for etc. He moved to Canada in 1913 and was KIA during WW1. Thanks
Signed on 30th December 1911 from Newton Stewart. John Litster's stats give him 2 appearances and no goals scored, I can only confirm one appearance, against Hibs on 17/02/1912. The only games that season I don't have lineups for are Hamilton on 1st and Celtic on 2nd January 1912 so may well have appeared in one of them.
Seemed to leave at the end of the 1911/12 season but no further details of who he went to next.

Pat Boyle needed the physio on after picking up an innocuous knock yesterday, I take it he's a courageous hero in your book?You would need to put a tackle or challenge for the ball for that to happen [emoji23]
Our mob can't even be bothered taking an injury [emoji23]
Did Dunlop show passion for the Peterhead shirt when he made a ridiculous lunge on Goodwillie? And Goodwillie must not be playing for the Clyde shirt as he decided not to receive treatment after it?
Can't remember the Cowdenbeath physio coming on last week, I suppose you have all their players down as cowards too.
At Hampden I can only recall the QP physio coming on to attend to a player who had done his hamstring in, funnily enough he injured himself without putting a tackle in or challenging for the ball.1 -
but have no heart tell me the last time one of them required treatment on the pitch ( apart from goody and mcniff ) You can coach players all you like to improve there game but you will never in still courage or the will to win
Aye, nothing says playing for the shirt more than, er...going down and needing the physio to come on.

Gus clearly shat it at the prospect of being shown up by Mr Lennon at Hampden again.

The 6 Glasgow teams all played in the First Division numerous times pre-WWII and in 1946-47, 1947-48 and 1957-58.

Nobody from Clyde or Berwick. It seems the players from the 8 small clubs are petty, jealous and bitter little men.

7 league wins in a row between December 2003 and February 2004.If you're talking league games, 1972, if I have it right. September, October time. Just let that sink in.
We have had six-streaks if you include cup wins. 1999 is probably the best marker for that sort of form; we beat Hamilton in the cup but they were also in the same league at the time.
Really rare for any team in these levels to string that kind of run up. At any time. We've got a recently multi-million pound forward, three full-time players and Chris McStay with us now. These are rare times, with rare quality; not excluding in the dugout. It does add up.

Spot on. We do need a commanding centre half, hardened midfield general, dynamic box-to-box midfielder, creative number 10, and big target man. Patrick can play all these roles, simultaneously.Home time for Pat. Versatility and quality in abundance.
And as a bonus, the captain's armband would fit snugly around his bulging biceps.1 -
Cuddihy and Breslin were the two players protesting to him and he just flashed a yellow card at one of them. I assumed it was Cuddihy too at first, as a red would have surely followed for Breslin. But Craig Charleston.

It looked like Charleston forgot he had already booked Breslin, his assistant had to tell him, then he checked his book and went back to Breslin and showed him a red card.

Are Berwick doing half and half scarves for this game?

Announce Scullion.

Mark McLaughlin, Dylan Easton, David Goodwillie, a plank of wood to stand between the sticks and seven keen amateur joggers should be enough for us to win this league.
We'll save Pat Scullion for our Scottish Cup challenge.0 -
Goodwillie has had a hand in every goal we've scored since he joined. Hat trick vs Elgin and goal vs Montrose yesterday, won the corner for Smith's goal and set up Gormley vs Annan, and won the penalty vs Berwick.

In 1998/99 Clyde had 5 different starting goalkeepers in the league. Gordon McIntyre, Dean Sexton and Robert Balfour started the first 3 games of the season and all picked up injuries. McIntyre played the 4th game then Balfour was back in for the next 2, then we signed Davie Wylie. He started all bar one of the remaining games - he (and McIntyre) got stuck in a traffic jam so centre-half Ian Spittal started a game in goals, before Wylie arrived and came on at half time.
In 2011/12 we had 5 different starting goalkeepers but only 4 in the league. Filip Mentel was on loan from Dundee United but wasn't allowed to play in Scottish or League Cup ties. He started the first 11 league games before injuring his cruciate ligament. JC Hutchison, who started the cup games, left the club a couple of weeks before Mentel's injury, so Alan Combe was drafted in as a trialist for one game. We then signed David Crawford who started the next 12, then Nick Feely on loan from Celtic who started the final 12.

Clyde hosted Dundee at Celtic Park in February 1915 too. Most of our home fixtures from the end of October were held there due to a fire damaging the stand at Shawfield. Ibrox, Firhill and Hampden were also used if Celtic had a home game.
