Looks like him.

See the source image

The late Ian Lister was one of the main guys who got Inverness a Junior Club.  Unfortuntatly Inverness City are in abeyance at the moment with no word if they're return to the SJFA.  

He was also the stepdad of a boy I worked with recently.  A very nice chap so he was.  Used to chat with Ian at Inverness City games a few years back when they played at the Northern Meeting park, before moving to Lister Park, named after him.

Big Stuart 'Sumo' Burgess there. :wub:

We signed him that summer and he was brilliant for us for a couple of seasons.

Sold him to Kilmarnock after the Saltcoats debacle for £90k I think.

What's the story here?

In 88/89 Jim Duffy took over at 29 years old and converted Dave Clarke's defensive football mogadon into a swashbuckling attacking side. We pushed DA all the way in the league but just missed out to you guys on the title and promotion.

Next season, and things were scratchy, with poor signings and an inconsistent team. The team went out to Saltcoats for a night out and let's just say that a multitude of hands were thrown that evening as tempers and frustrations came out with the help of alcohol.

Duffy was wanting to sack some players but the board refused to let him (allegedly Burgess was one as they knew they could get cash for him). So JD resigned in a strop - something he has freely admitted to regretting bitterly ever since.

It was the end for 2 or 3 players though.

Merging the chat about Jim Duffy's Falkirk and "Benny" Brazil from a few pages back, here's the bold Benny turning out for his last senior club, Forfar, at Brockville, in 1990/91.

"Benny" was a good lower league full back at that time. All the pace of a crab caught in an oil slick, but determined, and tough. That was a very strong Falkirk side from memory with the likes of Sam McGivern in the team.

The managers were bonkers though- Duffy, then Stainrod. Full of narcissistic fedoras, waistcoats, and camel coats, as though looking like a forgotten 1950s American B Movie star mattered to anyone.

Rammy outside the Metro nightclub, quite a few players involved but the only other one I can remember was Sammy McGivern.

He was dreadful for us, which was a surprise as he came with a good reputation
