Flybhoy Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 In the week when Hugh McIlvanney sadly passed away, one of the last truly decent and great Scottish sports journalists, here he is pictured in front of Sean Fallon and Billy McNeill as the Celtic captain makes his way up to lift the European Cup in Lisbon in 1967. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davie Provan used to live quite close to where I am now, he died a couple of years ago. But surely he wasn't that tall? And Provan was at another club, wasn't it Palace? His daughter used to sing Co. Antrim folks songs after getting pished in the District Bar. First came across her back in the early 1980s she’d walking difficulties and used two sticks. Obviously things got worse as she progressed to an electric wheel chair. She also had a speech impediment. Once saw her on the Barrhead train telling late night commuters her dad was Davie Provan and the usual sucker was trolled in. Her party piece answer was “Naw, ya F****n Bazza, David Provan of The Rangers. Often wondered why Albion Rovers never gave her a shot at the manager’s gig. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the giant suit they bought for managers would fit her. Probably. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flybhoy Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Leeds United v Celtic European Cup semi-final 1970, the Celtic side pre match and after George Connolly scored the only goal of the game after 45 seconds, Celtic won the return leg 2-1 at Hampden in front of around 130,000 to go through to the final in Milan where a Feyenoord side including Wim Jansen triumphed 2-1. Ajax won the next three consecutive European Cups making four on the trot for Holland. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A guy I know who worked at one or two newspapers, including the Daily Record told me that, after that hilariously gash football film he had a bit part in with Robert Duvall and Ally McCoist, he genuinely thought he could have a career in acting in a Vinnie Jones footballer to thespian type transition. Utter fucking melt of a guy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eednud Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Way back when it was common for Scottish teams knocked out of the Cup in early rounds to play a Friendly against an English side in the same boat. On Saturday 17 February 1962 Dundee United beat Manchester City 2-1 at Tannadice in frontmof a 7,000 crowd. The Man City goalkeeper is Bert Trautmann, the United player might be Dennis Gillespie.
