Mr Heliums Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 4 minutes ago, Dundee Hibernian said: Loved to see that, I have a similar collection albeit for United mainly, but you've maybe aged me by saying they belonged to your late grandad. If it makes you feel better that same grandad helped build Muirton Park in 1923-24... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a promo, as you say, for Clydeside Buses who would be the shirt sponsor for the cup final. Graham's Buses, a local bus company, had been the shirt sponsor for many seasons but, unluckily for them, their deal ran out at the end of the league season. Clydeside stepped in and the shirt/sponsor combo as shown in the picture was only worn once domestically (the cup final...it was also worn on a post-season tour of Singapore). The following season Saints continued to be sponsored by Clydeside but had switched kit supplier to Matchwinner and the abominable "bib" kit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenny McDowell is sitting precariously, if only someone had known he would end up at the tribute act they could've gave him a nudge. If only Lambert had applied a bit of pressure with his hands in that position. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was approached by a couple of guys whilst doing the garden one day to see if he was interested in accepting a bribe to help throw a match. He declined but it was at the time when there was a big scandal down south around match fixing. A few players ended up getting the jail including a former England international player but I'm afraid I can't remember his name. I remember watching this drama about it... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
