Lurkst Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 2 hours ago, Dundee Hibernian said: Unusual to see a football player in full gear standing outside a ground, posing for a photograph on what appears to be a matchday. This is Willie Japp, while an Ayr United player in the 1950s. If it's Somerset he might actually be inside the ground Looks like he's wearing a kilt! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shotgun Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 I was just wondering how many steps he'd have to take before those shorts started moving. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurkst Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 On the subject of George Connelly, I'm not sure where this is taken, because it doesn't look like Hampden, where he won both his Scotland caps... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingjoey Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 The question on a quiz on today’s BBC Scotland Football website says that this photo of Pittodrie is from the 1990’s! The Main Stand Enclosure was seated in 1968 and the roof of the Main Stand was changed in February 1971 after the fire. So photo taken between these dates. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pittodrie was famously all seated by the early 80s so the BBC's quizmaster must be relatively young. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From a careful analysis of the clothes (trouser width especially) and haircuts (quite a few administered by mothers), I'm going for a Saturday afternoon in March 1976. Narrows it down.

ScottyDee1893 Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 On 13/09/2020 at 10:17, Eednud said: Same article has bit about Billy Semple. “Billy Semple signing for Dundee? After nearly nine years at Rangers, winger Semple (26) was freed in April 1972 after playing just a handful of first-team games. To be fair, competition at the time for wing berths came in the shape of Willie Henderson, Willie Johnston, Davie Wilson and Tommy McLean. He then had a brief spell with Durban United in South Africa before Davie White, his former boss at Ibrox, took him to Dens Park. In his 18 months as a Dark Blue, he made just five starts for the first team, and listed as a substitute 14 times.” Am I imagining things? When the Record had their version of page 3 girls was Mrs Semple featured? Dundee FC in 1973. Back row (from left) – Cairney, Robinson, McPhail, Wylie, McKenzie, Stewart, McGuigan, Robertson. Middle row – Wilson, Johnstone, Hendrie, Anderson, Hewitt, Allan, Knowles, Caldwell, Grimmond, Mackie, Pringle. Front row – Harry Davis (Coach), Semple, Watson, Wallace, Gray, Gemmell, Scott, Lambie, Strachan, Smith, and Physiotherapist Eric Ferguson. I'm not disputing its '73 but John Duncan, Iain Phillip, Bobby Robinson and Jimmy Wilson must have been on their summer holidays still 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanliq and El D always had ads in the football pages of the papers, but cant remember them at grounds. Used to have ads in some of the programmes, too. THird Lanark springs to mind. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No wonder the Queen's support crashed in the late 1950s - many had drunk themselves to death and most survivors were too pished to find the stadium - from a 1949 match programme v Dunfermline - 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
