Andy_K_97 Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Time for some Hampden before and after spam. Before: After: Before: After: Hampden in its mid-90s inbetween state (pretty much the fourth picture) is how I would have seen it the first time I was there. It would have been the summer of 1995 or 1996 and I was with my dad and his mate who was a Reading fan. My mum must have been away shopping in the city centre and my dad's mate must have wanted a look at the old place so we went along. No game on, hardly anybody about but had a kickabout outside the old main stand for a bit. We then saw the old gate between the main stand and the covered west terrace was open so we went in and had a quick kickabout before leaving in case anyone chased us away. I remember it vaguely, particularly how dark it seemed in the old west terrace with its old cover. My first game at Hampden would have been around 2000 for one of the friendly matches, I'll need to have a look and see what games could have been the first, but I remember being at the 2001 League Cup semi-final against St. Mirren where Killie won 3-0. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be that, I specifically recall they were the unofficial sponsors of the Scottish Cup in that era, you would often see 'Kick Cigarettes out the park' type adverts at the cup final and the man of the match would get the Mr Superfit award Nowadays football clubs would advertise heroin if the laws allowed it and it paid enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve got a signed programme somewhere from that game. It was a double bill for the Centenary of Queen’s Park, with them facing the British Army (I’m sure there’s a joke in there somewhere). My uncle got it for me as he was a good mate of Tam Gemmell after they met on holiday in Spain. Threw most of my programmes out years ago but kept a handful of decent ones. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lionel wickson Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Willie Henderson, Bobby Collins, Denis Law, Davie Wilson and Ian St John sometime in the 1960's on Scotland duty. Wild guess, but I think this is before Wembley '65. Pretty sure that was the forward line. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonHMFC Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 On 12/06/2019 at 22:14, Drew Brees said: Fans waiting outside hampden Spoke to my Dad about this fixture earlier, said he wrote to Celtic for a ticket and put in the relevant money to cover it. Few days later he had a ticket sent back to him down in London. (He did the same for the 66 World Cup. He has the letter from the FA confirming all his tickets etc, still has his West Germany rosette and ticket stubs.) He went to Celtic's fixture with Man United the season earlier, think Celtic gave them bit of a hiding. Said they were easily one of the best sides he has ever seen. He and quite a few others I think would watch any Scottish side, I suppose there was a bit more affinity with the players then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
