Black Pennel Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 ^^Well aye,...but only one of them died as a small ginger legend. We will never see that sort of thing happen ever again in our lifetimes. f**k knows what the guy lining up against the bandy-legged genius that was, and indeed still is, Mr. Lennox must've thought when he saw them running out. Doesn't really matter who you support....those men were a special team. Fitba itself has changed and we probably won't ever see the likes of Jinky or Bobby playing for a professional team ever again. I'll get my coat, ...mutter,...mumble,...jackets for goalposts...centre-forwards withoot teeth...wing-half positions...mutter,...mumble... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see my primary school in that photo. Right next to Craigie Park, which was was Ayr United's training pitch at the time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flybhoy Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Sir Fergie of Govan has a swig from a bottle of bubbly whilst St Mirren manager, I'm sure some older posters can name the player next to him. Mental to think St Mirren actually sacked the guy who went on to be the most successful manager of the modern era. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flybhoy Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Speaking of St Mirren I suspect the Paisley side may be the opposition here at Celtic Park in 1979 as Murdo McLeod is wearing green socks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
