60`s bairn

I went to the Hospital a couple of days after it and the Doctor that looked at my leg said "Are you the other guy from the Bleachfield on Sunday?"

Great days....although there was one clash that resulted in a broken leg!!

2-0 win over Hearts, (I was at that game) the only other games he played (2) were in the Stirlingshire Cup. What worried me & a good few others was that he might have played another first team game!!!!

Nelson Still. AKA "Stan"

Through the turnstile up the wee steps and into where the Bovrils were served and you were in another world. The smell of the Bovril and fags got you primed for what was to come. Always enjoyed coming out of there and up the 4 or 5 steps into the stand to get your first look at the crowd. If it was a big game, the place was jumping and the nerves started kicking in before you got to your seat. Happy days.

Section "B" was split by the stairs. The seat in Row "I" that I was in was in the part nearest section C (the middle section). I think the row started at seat 19. I was 2 or 3 seats in. You must have been pretty much next to section C??

"Section B row I...seat 23." From 1963 until 1988 when Dave Clarke`s ultra defensive tactics finally got to me. I ended up in the covered enclosure until "91" when I went back to a season ticket. Couldn`t get my old seat back though.

That was our first league Cup game at the end of July. The Alloa game was 02 July and the other friendlies were in between that...up to the last one v Hibs on the 19th. This isn`t from memory or I would have said Alloa was our last friendly. It`s from "Bettermeddle".

He did, the game v Alloa. We then went up north and played a few games, he wasn`t with the team but returned to play the last two friendlies v Preston & Hibs.

You missed out the "White Pele"!

I remember that being the first time I`d seen Falkirk in anything other than Navy or white. Always associate it it with Joe McCallan for some reason.

As it would have coincided with Aberdeen`s launch and they take priority.

From what I remember, the rivalry between the clubs originated from that time. They didn`t just compete for league titles but also to avoid relegation on many occasions from the mid 70`s onwards. Prior to that it was just another fixture in the season. Jock Stein built a pretty decent side at Dunfermline in the 60`s with a few memorable European games at East End.

Looked decent in training today.

It always amazed me how you got there first??

Surprised that you forgot about that one "BB". You must have been sitting the same side as Gregor for the Healey goal as your pic is almost identical to his, I was at the other side.

Midfielders past & present in this pic.

Your Xs are McMahon, Nichol, Stallard, Clements none of whom made it into the first team. Stallard played with Airdrie before going to Australia.

Barr was in the youth system in the Brockville days (YTS?) Scobbie was part of the Academy set-up along with Arfield, Mitchell, Allison. Stewart etc.

Red socks and it wouldn`t be a million miles away.

Had the privilege of working with Gordon in the Club Media for 10 years and witnessed first hand his dedication to the Club and his commitment to improving standards. You often hear the expression "living and breathing the Club", he genuinely did. Rest in peace big man, you`ll be sorely missed.
