Fun fact: Usain Bolt’s pose was inspired by David Syme. Edited December 12, 2020 by 8MileBU 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The headline in the Sunday Mail the next day was "F**K OFF YOU POOF!" Which apparently were Souness' words to the ref in the stand after the game. The article finished with a disclaimer along the lines of "contrary to Mr Souness' opinion Mr Syme is a happily married man." Different times indeed... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never paid any attention to the Gretna "fairytale" at the time. But I know that this guy is unpopular. Apart from the ridiculous cup final Harry Lauder impersonation, what did he to to piss so many people off? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HibeeJibee Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Rowan Alexander became a schools football coach... After more than 12 years out the dugout, except a brief stint as assistant at Glenafton in 2010, he returned to Raydale as manager of Gretna 2008 about 1yr ago. You get the feeling he's laid a few personal footballing demons to rest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eventually they went on to dominate Scottish football and win the undying love of the people of Hamilton. F***, man.

Thirds' last game was at Boghead, April 1967. 5-1 for The Sons, Drew Busby (owner of The Waverley pub in Dumbarton) scored their last competitive goal in that defeat.

Lurkst Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Drew Busby must've been the last Thirds player to play in the top division (or any division tbh). I know Ally McLeod played when he was about 60 but it was a reserve game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
