tamthebam Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 There's an Admiral Samuel Grieg buried in the main church in Tallinn. That ad came from the Rangers v Voivodina programme UEFA Cup 1968. Perhaps they had all the right letters, just not necessarily in the right order. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melanius Mullarkey Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 100 years to the day since Elgin City played their first game at Borough Briggs, pumping some Invernesian scumbags (Citadel FC) 7-2. Since then the hallowed turf has been graced by such luminaries as Stanley Matthews, Gary Lineker, Lee McCulloch and myself.

The episode was the 3rd of October 1976 and Brian Moore read a letter from a lady in Fulham. Her Dad, Watty White had played for Scotland v England in 1908. She sent in his jersey which Moore showed us and I took a photo of the screen. His Cap for the match was also shown. He also said that he earned £28 0s 6d from his testimonial. Here is a picture and a bio of him 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As noted above, it was near the end of season and a win for Celtic would have made them champions. Was all PATG in those days so the right hand side of the Shed was full of weegies. United won comfortably and shenanigans ensued 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dundee Hibernian Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 (edited) The Glasgow side which faced Sheffield in 1880. This was the seventh match in a series of 66 between select sides from the two cities. The last was in 1960, with Third Lanark's Alex Harley scoring the final goal in a 5-0 win for Glasgow. Harley was a great footballer, and went south to play for Manchester City, scoring a barrowload of goals in his one season (62-63) there, before flitting between a number of clubs in England, Scotland, N. Ireland and S. Africa without much success, and dying at the young age of 33. A sentence in the press sums him up thus: "Harley was transferred at the end of that season to Birmingham for £42,000 but, like other Scottish players then, had a fondness for drink and louche entertainment."

A sentence in the press sums him up thus: "Harley was transferred at the end of that season to Birmingham for £42,000 but, like other Scottish players then, had a fondness for drink and louche entertainment." He signed for Dundee around the time Alan Gilzean was transferred to Spurs. He was not a success at Dens. The following is from Blether with Brown: Dundee FC fans, do you remember Alex Harley signing for the club? He joined in November 1964 from Birmingham City. It seemed to be a great signing by Bob Shankly as Harley – who Shankly originally signed when boss of Third Lanark – had a glowing reputation as a goalscorer. He was top scorer in Scotland in the 1960-61 season with 45 goals for Third Lanark. Dundee’s Ian Ure (left) and Alex Harley, in his Third Lanark days. An £18,000 fee then took him to Manchester City and, in his first season at Maine Road, he netted 32 times. His stock soared so much that Birmingham shelled out £41,000 for the centre-forward, but his goals dried up. At Dundee, he lasted just around nine months with a meagre four-goal return from 10 games, and he left to join Irish side Portadown. Sadly, he died just a few years later, aged 33. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henry McNeil (single 'L') was Moses' brother, and he played for Queen Park as a forward in 1875. Moses was at Rangers at that time, but it's not beyond credibility that this was him as well on the team list, as guest appearances were common in the early days of modern football. But seeing as M. McNeil appears to be a left footer, it's maybe not him................... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
