Interestingly Kosmas son (born in Dunfermline) went on to represent Hungary at 3 Olympics in swimming. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flybhoy Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 Murdo McLeod in a classic Celtic kit in 1984, just before advertising became common place. From memory CR Smith were the first sponsors on the hoops bizarrely halfway through the season, I'm sure this is from a Glasgow Cup tie at Firhill, August 1984, a few months before the double glazing firm appeared on the shirt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rangers fans in the Scotland crowd booed when Gemmell took the penalty instead of Colin Stein. If Stein had scored, he would have equalled Hughie Gallacher's individual record of scoring 5 in one game for Scotland. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's interesting that even Meadowbank Thistle had had shirt sponsors for a number of seasons by 1984. You'd have thought the old Celtic board would have wanted to grab every sponsors' penny earlier but I suppose the "sanctity" of the Hoops came first. Talking of Hoops, Queens Park were the last Scottish League club to have shirt sponsors. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OF were late to shirt sponsorship because putting your company's name on one of the shirts risked being boycotted by fans of the other cheek. CR Smith got round this by sponsoring both teams 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See the wee lad hanging over to touch Best, he's got on the Hibs alternative purple Bukta jersey of the time. They had to wear that when on television to avoid sponsorship issues, and a major shareholder of the time was rumoured to have wanted the club to change to purple as the main team colour. I'm not sure if that was Tom Hart, the chairman. In any case, the wall depicting a large harp badge outside the main stand was 'accidentally' removed at the same point, and that reinforced the belief that within the club, there were influences which wanted to obliterate parts of the club's history, or at least associations with their founding. To Best: the deal to being him in on huge wages per match, with a guarantee of playing time when he was available, was all done without the manager's knowledge, which was a terrible deception of fine Hibs servant Eddie Turnbull. EDIT: added photo of terrace entrances to right of main stand, which displayed the harp badge. Edited September 30, 2021 by Dundee Hibernian photograph addition. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Tout P'ti FC Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 I wrote a couple of articles for that in the mid 90's. Did you eviscerate the Richard Gough book in print? Are you Bruno Glanvilla? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC Bruno Glanvilla was actually best selling Paisley novelist Chris Brookmyre. Irvine Welsh also penned articles for the Hibs Monthly fanzine under the pen name "Octopus". Despite being published in TAG myself I've never become a novelist. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it not the " Lawman " ?
