Report immediately to Mr. Waverley for a de-briefing and watch out for the T.H.R.U.S.H. agents who are closing in on you. They managed to infiltrate UNCLE hq in the first affair but Napeleon sorted them out -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Fitlike Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Quizball is the series that made Ian Ure a legend in englandshire !?Ure was one of the ‘brainy’ players.... I also recall Jim Craig and John Cushley being ‘class swots’....Surely Quizball was the first time the phrase ‘route one’ was ever used... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite possibly the only player we've ever signed direct from Man Utd for a fee, the story goes that Man U were initially willing to let him go on a free transfer but (apparently) back then a free was seen as a great ignominy and someone, somewhere convinced Saints to pay £5K for him. His name is an anagram of A Urine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurkst Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Watching the episode of Quizball! posted earlier introduced me to a famous Fifer I had no knowledge of, and I'd be surprised if many P&Bers under 55 will have either. Nottingham Forest centre half Bob McKinlay. The club's leading appearance maker, 614 league games in 18 years including an incredible run of 265 consecutive matches. Unfortunately for him Ian Ure knew more about meteorology though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually discovered the photo of the Celtic team while searching to see if there was any photographic evidence of the Falkirk team featuring Andy Roxburgh, Alex Ferguson and Chic Murray. Some of the celeb fan choices seemed incredibly random. Dunfermline winning the very last edition with Jon Pertwee on their team ??? Magnus Magnusson was apparently asked years later why he was in the Kilmarnock team as a fan, and the only reason was that someone requested him to do it. Aye , the Falkirk v Everton tie was packed with football and showbiz royalty ....Ed “Stewpot” Stewart being the Everton guest fan. There’s a mention of Stuart Hall latterly being the referee/presenter. My old man was old school, in that he always supported every Scottish team against foreign opponents , including Quizball. Long before Stuart Hall was outed as a nonce , my dad detested him purely because of his performance as the ref in a Quizball tie between Celtic and English opponents. For years afterwards until he kicked the bucket , my old man could never see or hear Hall on tv or radio without mentioning ,with genuine bitterness, that Hall ,as the Quizball ref, had cheated Celtic. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they should let him out a few months early for that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B. When I was at Glasgow Uni I remember hoovering up the tale that the medical students had been operating on the cadaver of Gordon Jackson, but discovered years later he had in fact been cremated in London. Possibly it was a Glaswegian doppelganger?... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
