Flybhoy Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Steve Archibald in action against Holland in 1982 in a Hampden friendly that attracted over 70,000. That was a pretty poor Dutch side, certainly by it's immediate predecessors and had failed to qualify for that years World Cup. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derailing this thread a bit, but how much would we give to have Steve Archibald in the Scotland team right now. Back then he was held up as a weak link in the team, seriously underrated player. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantastic player, brilliant footballing brain, another player who, in the early 80's Celtic were heavily linked with alongside David Narey but the old board were too fucking miserable too even contemplate making a serious bid for. Utter arsewipe of a guy though by all accounts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverWolfe Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Leith have a jolly good defence. Any idea what the results were? Edit: also interesting that the OF both playing away from home on the same weekend. Was this normal back then? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ETA: All 6 Glasgow sides were in the top flight, so it probably happened quite a lot that season Edited January 27, 2019 by Jacksgranda 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't tell you about the rest but Hearts beat Aberdeen 2-0 in front of a 32,668 crowd. Our scorers were Andy Black and Bill Walsh.

paulbrucerick Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 (edited) I see your 1936 newspaper and raise you to a 1903 Ayr Advertiser! This is the intro to a very in depth report on an Ayr FC versus Galston match. Of particular note is the obscene language of the Galstonian support! I would post it all, but it's an old broadsheet and it's over two columns. Edited January 27, 2019 by paulbrucerick 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
