HibeeJibee Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 Meanwhile back in 1943 there were major stars on show in unexpected places... Stanley Matthews and Tommy Lawton were playing for Morton at the time and the latter struck 5 in a 8-3 rout of Clyde while at Pittodrie a 4 goal haul from Stan Mortensen wasn't enough for Aberdeen who lost 5-4 to the British Army in a friendly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're paying for the convenience of getting there and back quickly. I went to Prague and Italy for games by bus and it wasn't pleasant and was about 2 days each way. The drunken, smelly, unhygienic arseholes I was with didn't help. And I'll remind them later today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dundee Hibernian Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 Sad to learn a famous Scottish football name has passed away aged only 61 years. Adrian Sprott scored the famous goal which knocked Rangers out of the cup at Ibrox in 1987, and played for 20 years in over 600 domestic matches for Meadowbank, Hamilton and Stenhousemuir. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
