Even the Renfrewshire Cup Final at the end of 78-79 saw us change for St. Mirren's visit (I loved that kit).

Think he was a Harp player before going down south.

I always thought it was Lochee United but this is his entry in the Ozfootball.net players database

Rooney, Jimmy
Date of Birth: 10-Dec-1945, Dundee, Scotland
Position: Left sided Midfielder

Born in Scotland, Rooney was an outstanding junior who played first team football with Lochlee Harp, Peterborough United and Montrose in the UK, before emigrating to Melbourne in the late 1960s. He was an instant success in Melbourne,where he linked up with Lions before transfering to Sydney in 1970. He made his Australian debut against the English FA in 1971, going on to play almost 100 times for his country in a career spanning a decade. He was Australias first choice midfielder in the 1974 World Cup campaign earning himself many admirers for his hard tackling and brilliant ball distribution.

Jeez, what's eating you Tut 😂
I was about 14 at the time, it's no secret by any means but it's a chapter of my life that's irrelevant now I'm an auld c**t. You can find my thoughts about Rangers in a few places, but certainly the Ibrox Disaster thread. Page 3 if you're bothered.

 

Where you at the Ibrox Disaster game?

No, didn't go that day but my mate did. Posted a link to save hijacking the thread any longer.

Morton team from 1970-71.

George Anderson and Davie Hayes would still be in the team 10 years later. 

Gerry Sweeney played in every position conceivable at Cappielow - he moved to Bristol City within the year.

Pars vs Aberdeen, 1985. This was our centenary game. Bobby Robertson is Pars captain and Alex McLeish Aberdeen's. Pars won 1-0 with Ian Heddle scoring.

Jim Leishman was the Pars manager. Some former Pars player was Aberdeen's. Don't think he amounted to much.

Found an article online that had a load of old pre-season pictures.

First up, two Pars players in 1966. Both went on to become managers, although only one of them managed the Pars. There's still time for the other though!
