Where are you getting the programme scanned images from?

I remember going to Love St as a 6 year old to watch Saints beat Dumbarton. 

Own collection.

This poses a question of twins playing in Scottish football:

Suzanne and Shelley Grant both played for Scotland Women so may have played at the same time together

Dick and Ian Campbell played for Brechin City.

I can't think of any others but I'll raise my hat to Sandy and Jimmy, fans of Dunbar United, who are still shouting at refs in their late 80s!

From Wikipedia...

"Alfred Olek was one of three Polish international players who moved to Hamilton in 1971, the others being Roman Strzałkowski and goalkeeper Witold Szygula. A contemporary report in The Herald newspaper described it as "one of the strangest transfer deals recorded in Scottish football".

"They were "the first players from behind the Iron Curtain to play in Britain." The deal was orchestrated by Hamilton's chairman Jan Stepek, who was himself Polish, in return for electronic goods being sent to Poland."

Roman Strzałkowski died in 1977, Witold Szygula in 2003, and Alfred Olek in 2007.

I can't find anything further about Strzałkowski's early death, but it happened on the 5th March 1977 which was the same day the Welsh F1 driver Tom Pryce was killed at the South Africa GP.

The manner of Pryce's death was entirely down to being at the wrong place at the wrong time. A car had crashed, two fire marshals recklessly crossed the circuit to put out the fire in the crashed car. The first marshal just fractionally misses being hit by a car, but the second one isn't so lucky. His shattered body is flung into the air along with his fire extinguisher.

Pryce is behind the incident, but as the extinguisher comes down it lands in his cockpit, bounces up and hits him underneath the chin, suffering instant fatal injuries. The car with the dead man's foot still on the acceleration pedal ploughs into spectators. There is footage on YouTube of the incident.

I read about it in a book called The Lost Generation about three British F1 drivers who died tragically young, Pryce, Roger Williamson (killed in the Dutch GP of 1973) and Tony Brise ( killed in the Graham Hill air accident in 1975)

I was at this one with my mate and his dad. Hibs dominated from start to finish. 90 minutes gone and Rangers win a corner on the left down at the bottom end of the famous slope. Tommy McLean floats it in and a Colin Stein header at the near post wins it.

As mentioned previously - tomorrow marks exactly 50 years since what proved the very last full Christmas Day card in Scotland.

Here's a flavour of that historic day.

I was at the Morton game in the report and can remember my Dad going to the Christmas Day game. Can't remember what I got that was a bigger attraction than the game.

Although I wasn't born yet, I am 100% sure that the Dons were up to their usual dastardly doings.

Here's a photo of the game from LOTT3.

Editing to add that the good guys in the shot are Tam Young, John Markie, Wilson Hoggan and George Miller.
