Niall Russell Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 OK, here's yer homework. If I knew what match that was I’d look at the promotion diary from that season to get the name of the guy back right. Definitely 86-87 as it was before Gary Voy had his car accident that ended his career... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure that’s Billy Herd? Not as I recall him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Specky Ginger Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 (edited) Is the guy next to Colin Harris called Bobby Wilson? He arrived from the juniors at the same time as Bingo Simpson, but never made anything like as big an impact. I'm guessing.

Wardy Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Before my time watching also, didn’t start properly going until 1995 (glory hunter) but recognised Keith Wright and Hamish McCalpine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raith1974 Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Jimmy Rambo Marshall, great player. Infact not a bad team. Was a ballboy at SP when these players played and also a mascot slightly later. Photo was taken with Hamish. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never worked out for him. Glen Kerr was a great defender, but fell out of things when Cammy Fraser signed. one of my favourite tops 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beastie Russell Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 It’s from really early in that season as Colin Harris was signed from Hibs just before Keith Wright was sold to Dundee. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harris signed in September and Wright left in December. I reckon that's the old Hampden Park terracing in the background, so having looked up Always Next Season, I'm going to say it was taken on Saturday 29th November 1986 when we were away to Queens Park, which might have been Keith Wright's last game for the Rovers (first spell).

keyser_soze Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 (edited) I remember a game at Hampden where Jim Marshall ran the length of the pitch to score, then collapsed in a heap absolutely knackered. Edit - I think he might have fluffed it and fell over the ball, 'twas a long time ago and my memory ain't what it used to be Edited September 25, 2019 by keyser_soze 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, better than that, he scored the opener and set up the injury time winner in the new year derby at the old Bayview the following season. Oh, and set up about five of Rovers' seven goals against East Fife at Starks Park in the November. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
