Does anyone remember when we did have a player called Ian Black? I was wee but vaguely recall him getting some stick for a lack of goals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Father Barrys Sign (Top Half) Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Billy Blackie- for me most noted for skying that golden chance over the bar at Easter Road in the Scottish Cup Quarter Final, 1989. Opening minutes of the game. The "other" Ian Black (ie not the demi god of Tranent) I think was Hugh McCann era? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Blackie was rapid i seem to remember but his end product often left a lot to be desired, (the Eddie Fearns of the 80's !!) i think we signed him from St Johnstone with John Irvine going the other way, but i may be wrong, or did we end up taking John Irvine for Blackie cant remember but i am sure St Johnstone were involved in some way. Remember the other Ian Black, a pretty non descriptive striker who was probably a reflection of the team we had at the time, mediocre at best. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereismillar Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 He was fast , very entertaining but the end product was not so good as you say On Zanatta do hearts intend to let him go ? that is the crux whether we get him fore the season or not.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks fit, sharp and determined. Would be a real marker to make the clubs in this league sit up and take notice. Looking at the bigger picture, would be a great additional revenue stream for the club too with shirt sales etc. It's happening.... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Hearts are willing to let him go. There has been some big offers for him though but the crux is whether he gets a game there or not which is not guaranteed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's an embargo on it. That's why the advertiser don't have it up just now. @Father Barrys Sign (Top Half) probably knows it already if he was hanging around last night.

Sure McCann got Irvine in for Blackie from St J mate- top memory though, would never have recalled that til you mentioned it. Think Abel brought Blackie in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radford Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Yeah, it was Blackie to Saints in a straight swap for John Irvine. One of a number of deals between the sides around that time: Kenny Thomson in exchange for Andy Millen Stuart Sorbie for £15,000 to Saints Iain Lee for £20,000 (plus Mike Smith) to Saints Jim Butter to Alloa Willie Newbigging to Alloa 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
