House Bartender Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 9 minutes ago, Drew Brees said: Been trying to get names for them Haffey, MacKay, Cummings, Caldow, McColl, Evans, McCann, Leggatt, Young, St John, Law, Weir. 12 names for 11 players, not bad eh. Trainer might be Johnny Hubbard. Aaaargh! Haffey! There are so many Scots still suffering ptsd at the mention of his name courtesy of the low point of both his career and our following the national team. But some real class there too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flybhoy Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 A young Joe Jordan in action for Morton against Partick Thistle at Cappielow in the early 1970's. Unsure of the Jags players. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flybhoy Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 The beginning of foreign players influxing Scottish football in the late 1980's as Dunfermline's Hungarian striker Istvan Kozma (who would be signed by Graeme Souness for Liverpool a couple of years later and be found to be woefully out of his depth) tussles with Poland and Celtic defender Dariusz Wdowczyk at East End Park. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were so impressed by Ferguson's buddies that we went to the Motherwell/St Mirren game in the next round of the cup (which Motherwell won 2-0 I think). Ferguson had Paisley buzzing back then. You must have been one of the few people there. I’ve heard there wasn’t much of an away support that day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anyone imagine Scotland putting 13 goals past any team without reply in two WC qualifiers these days? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denis Law played in that game, said it was the worst point of his career. When we were beating England 2-0 in 67 he wanted to humiliate them in the same way he felt humiliated 6 years earlier. He was raging with Baxter and Bremner for taking the piss instead of going for the jugular. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
