In fact, I'm pretty sure the same comments were made about it although last time someone mentioned the stand behind the team. I know this thread attracts us 40+ but I hope we're not all going senile and posting the same pics every couple of months.

Bogbrush1903 Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 (edited) From the 1981 album, in my 6 year old mind, I thought Greenock Morton was a very strange and exotic place, and none more strange than the Afro wearing Jim Tolmie. A big life regret for me was that I never saw Tolmie play in the flesh unless he was in the Billy McNeil International Select that came north for John McMaster's testimonial as it was populated heavily with his own Manchester City team. However fairly certain Tolmie didn't play. Edited November 10, 2022 by Bogbrush1903 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I was having a bad case of déjà vu...so take our minds off that Albion Rovers team pic, I'll post another one of their Championship winning squad of the late 1980s Either the suit was a giant or the team was affected by dwarfism... In a footnote, I watched the Dons play Albion Rovers in 1989 at Fir Park and was suitably impressed enough that I sent away for their Club Shop Price List...If I remember correctly, I bought Albion Rovers home shorts and a pennant... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bogbrush1903 Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 (edited) Actually, we also previously had a picture of Bernie Slaven which prompted a discussion about the possible location he was photographed at, which I think was eventually decided was Ochilview... anyway here's a different one of Albion Rovers future international star in an ape like pose... But where is he playing and can anyone identify the opposition team and player (because I can't)? Maybe it's Forfar Athletic?

I think it looks like Mark "The Tank" Bennett, who starred for all four of the senior Angus clubs, but who gained "Legendary" status at Links Park. Links Park Legends - Mark Bennett It isn't Cliftonhill? As I think that is Montrose's away strip Mark is wearing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranaldo Bairn Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 (edited) Definitely Cliftonhill, and I'd put money on it being the same game as this one, illustrated in the 85/86 SFL review.

Players are: back, Les Thomson, John Hunter, Willie Whigham, Ernie Peacock, Tommy Lowry, Bill McCarry. Front, Kenny Cunningham, Hugh Hamilton, Billy Fulton, Alex Duchart, Jimmy Adam. Picture taken before a League Cup tie at Fir Park in 1962 (heavy defeat, which maybe explains why this jersey was hidden in a cupboard.) Guy 2nd from right bottom row looks a bit like John Robertson 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
