I wonder which other players have made that milestone. Malpas? I was at the game where he got the record- it was Stenny v Shire I wore my Meadowbank scarf. This was about three years after we'd been Blobbified. Stenny guy "Haw you, is that an Alloa scarf" Me "Naw, it's Meadowbank" Stenny guy "Oh really, there's a guy over there with a Third Lanark scarf on too.."

Tommy Hutchison tries to squeeze a cross past West Germany's Paul Breitner during a friendly in Frankfurt, March 1974. Tommy holds what must be a unique record in that he made his league debut in his teens, his international debut in his twenties, his national cup final debut in his thirties, and his European debut in his forties! I remember hearing George Galloway wittering away as an inexplicable guest on Sportsound a year or two back. He was reminiscing about the 1974 World Cup and saying that Hutchison had been unearthed because despite being English, he had a Scottish granny or something. Absolute rubbish. He was from central Scotland and started his career with Alloa. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranaldo Bairn Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 The man's a dribbling buffoon and always has been. Thank God he would never get within 100 miles of a Scottish football stadium without being laughed out of town. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His international debut was actually the night we qualified for the 74 World Cup, with another Fifer, George Connelly also receiving his first cap in that Czechoslovakia game... (The eagle eyed among you will notice that team isn't from the Czech game as Harvey is in goals and not Hunter. It's in fact from Connelly's other cap v West Germany in November 73).

Flybhoy Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Paul McStay in Israel in 1986 in a rather smart Scotland away kit. I actually got both home and away strips the previous Christmas I recall as a kid, complete with the band around the shorts which were much ridiculed at the time but seem to have become all retro trendy. Also after that match we never played Israel for over 30 years until recently where we seem to have played them about 69 times in the last three years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny, I always thought that game was at Hampden. We drew and played well I think? Also, look at that beautiful Scotland strip. PS: Is Paul Breitner the only Commie full-back to score in 2 World Cup finals? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Literally minutes after full time the Challenger Space Shuttle blew up, I remember watching both events. PS...in a bizarre coincidence, the only failed manned space launch since was the aborted Soyuz mission on 11th October 2018, which was the next date that we played in Israel!
