Archie McSquackle Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Is that a young Martin O'Neill on the right? Was he not playing for Forest in those days? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie McSquackle Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 this one popped up on my twitter feed. titled 'Celtic End' Parkhead 1971https://twitter.com/oakroyd/status/1099767929267208192I'm pretty sure that was part of the Harry Benson exhibition I saw recently at Pollok House. Bit of a contrast with some of the other pictures of Muhammad Ali and the Kennedys. There's so much going on in that photo but what struck me was the lack of scarves. I thought they would have been around in 1971 but obviously bunnets still ruled the day and it was pretty standard for a man of a certain age to wear a shirt and tie to the football. Eta: The caption at the exhibition said it was an Old Firm game if that helps date it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 1971 the entire Celtic commercial department was a shop built inside the supporters hall in the then Kinloch St which was situated about 20 yards away from the present day visitors section. Doubt the entire annual profits from the shop covered one players wages for a season. Certain draper shops in places like Saltmarket and Bridgeton Cross sold football scarfs (aye they sold both before you ask) A certain shop underneath the Hielanmans Umbrella on Argyle St sold more of a selection ie Thistle Hearts Hibs. Comparing cost from 1971 to the present day. St Roch’s Juniors got replica scarves made recently cost £10. Big change from 12//6 (65p)) in 1971. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eednud Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Just saw in another post that Eric Caldow has passed away. This is him being carried off with a broken leg after 5 minutes at Wembley in 1963. Bobby Smith of England also had to go off. No subs back then but Scotland won 2-1 with 2 goals from Jim Baxter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True enough Mr H and of course the St Roch’s scarfs are collectors items. Probably get £200 for them on ebay’s football memorabilia section. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA Baracus Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Pars legend and current Montrose manager Stewart Petrie in action as part of the 02/03 pre-season. We played New Zealand twice, winning once 1-0 (Brewster) and losing once 4-2 (Scott Thomson and Colin Nish). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not an elf & safety fanatic, but that Pittodrie photo really was outrageous. If one of the guys tumbled down the roof he was going to break his own legs or neck - fair enough - but he was also going to wipe out one of the kids sitting 60 ft below. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
