At one time the side opposite the main stand must have held around 15000 seeing as the record attendance was over 27000. Here it is from the air in 1936, the year that record was set. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch Stanton Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 (edited) Drew Busby who died today. Seen here in Hearts colours but previously, and famously, scored Third Lanark's last ever goal. Edited July 1, 2022 by Arch Stanton 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Finan Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 I have always had a fascination for floodlights. This photo is a bloke climbing the Hampden pylons, with a cloot in his back pocket, to clean the lights. No safety gear, no special clothing, just a lot of bottle. The game was different then, but working practices were differenter! As ever, an utterly shameless, mercenary, and downright blummin' cheap-ass (I don't know how I get away with it!) attempt at publicity for Lifted Over The Turnstiles Volumes 2 and 3, which are back in shops after selling out the first print run. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyrshireTon Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 Three Scotsmen in Odense Stadion in 1979 for a challenge match between a Danish League Select and Liverpool, part of a series of games to celebrate 75 years of League Football in Denmark. Graeme Souness scoring with Frank McGarvey in the background. The keeper on the deck is my uncle, who played in Denmark at the time (also played junior for Ardrossan, Port Glasgow and Greenock). Liverpool won 5-2. 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dundee Hibernian Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 I'm guessing quite a few teams relegated out of the second league will have their best chance to go up this coming season if the review promised by the SFA and SPFL attempts a restructure. The end game for the authorities may be to push the OF b sides into the fourth level by some means, although I'm certain the boards of clubs at that level presently will resist. It may come down to how much the two cheeks are willing to pay the wee teams. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Years to compile and came to the conclusion that Scotland should have a ten team top flight, despite every other league in Europe of any significance, having a 16 or 18 team top division. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weirdly the composition of this photo really reminds me of the famous Rembrandt painting, The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Tulp, although the Cowden keeper is (presumably) still alive.

Liverpool won 5-2. Must be one of very few pictures of Frank in a Liverpool jersey playing alongside first team players as he never ever played a competitive game for Liverpool. I think Frank made a massive mistake in not staying at Liverpool. IIRC it was Bob Paisley who got Frank interested in horse racing and betting which was a downfall for him and his marriage. One of the greatest natural goal scorers Scotland has produced. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was playing for Svendborg at the time. Slightly less glamorous, here he is playing for Ardrossan Winton Rovers against Kilbirnie Ladeside in a Junior Cup tie in the early 70s. Apparently, this was the first match I ever attended (but as I was around 2 years old I have no memory of it). 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
