Meadowbank Thistle's first ever reserve match.

No 4 Lee Bullen was signed from Penicuik. Lots of effort but couldn't hit a coo's erse with a banjo and so was sold to Stenny. Then he disappeared...

...he went to Hong Kong and played in a game against England where he took the piss out of them. As a result he came back to the UK where he became a hero at Dunfermline and a legend at Sheffield Wednesday.

Never knew that about Bullen. Two Stuart Robertsons and the goalie had been with Airdrie. as had Colin Mitchell.   Tom Hendrie who went on to manage St Mirren? John Colquhoun -great winger and I think Graham Armstrong might have played for Stirling as well. Oh the days of reserve football with young guys/veterans /guys coming back from injury.

It wasn't the more famous Celtic and Hearts John Colquhoun (who'd played for Stirling Albion) but it was a relation (nephew?) who played that night.

Hendrie was a Meadowbank legend and, yes, Graeme "Louis" Armstrong also played with Stirling.

No. 6 for Albion, Larry Haggart, had recently signed from Alloa. Six years later his son Lawrence, a young footballer with Celtic who had been in the Scotland u-15 squad at the time, was murdered in a case which thereafter was very badly handled by the police.
