tamthebam Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Cheers. I've been in that end but I haven't been to Pittodrie since I was a tax dodging student and Willie Miller was the Aberdeen manager... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here Alfredo is wondering what happened to their bagpipes... Glasgow crowd split in two over who they supported. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct,14 finals in a row. A lot of people at the time weren't sure where Celtic played home games since they were at Hampden that often. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing the old Rangers crew weren't cheering on the Germans who'd bombed Clydeside less than 20 years before. But both of us would be be wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true. Plus the fact they had been scutched off them in the semi. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you watch the goals on YouTube the biggest roar is when the Germans score the first goal. In the 1976 European Cup final at Hampden a section of the crowd thought it fun to sing "we won the war". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurkst Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Gordon Durie tangles with Brazilian goalkeeper Taffarel in the opening game of the 1998 World Cup. By playing that day "Jukebox" became the only Scot to be capped at 4 major tournament finals, and let's face it, it's unlikely to be repeated (by a man anyway). 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flybhoy Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Scotland 0 England 1, Paul Mariner scored the only goal. Left to right, McGrain, Mariner, Jordan, Butcher, Alan Evans, Keegan and Hansen. Alan Evans in the picture there is a player I literally have no memory of, did he play his entire career in England? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flybhoy Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 (edited) Andy Walker chased down by Kenny Black as Celtic and Hearts scrap it out at Tynecastle in 1988, other players from left to right are Gary Mackay, Mark McGhee, Dave McPherson and Paul McStay, cant make out the player partially obscured by Walker, ex Celt Roddy McDonald maybe? Edit, zooming in I think it could be another ex Celtic player, Brian Whittaker..a check of the Celtic wiki page reveals McDonald didn't play that day but Whittaker, who died in a crash a decade later did. Celtic only needed a point to clinch the title but lost 2-1, delaying the party a week where a 3-0 win over Dundee at Celtic Park clinched the first part of the centenary season double.

Flybhoy Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 I vaguely remember him from the Panini stickers albums, I was born in 1976 so started getting them when I was about 7 or 8, just had no idea he was Scottish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
