First defeat of the European Cup winning season on Hogmanay 1966 and later in the season United did the double over Celtic with another 3-2 win. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fleck also had a fairly successful overall career in England, whilst Robertson shat the bed when faced with a higher level of football and couldn't get back up the road to the lesser leagues quick enough. Never really shat the bed though. Willie McFaul tried to play him as a number 10. -1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Saturday 30th March 1985 got hit by torrential rain. Of full 19-game league program only Aberdeen, Ayr, Hamilton and QotS survived plus reserve league OF derby (was it hastily arranged?). EDIT: Rearrangement on Wednesday 1st May ended 1-1 (despite Rangers having 9-men), confirming Aberdeen as champions, and was followed by the "Battle of Janefield Street" rioting and mounted police charges.

I was at that game as I watched a lot of St Mirren home games at that time, as well as many Killie ones. The final was actually in April 1980 and was a repeat of the 1977/78 final. I think Tony Fitzpatrick played in both finals but for different teams, losing both times. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I watched that team during my first year as a student in Newcastle. They'd spent big that summer and were hopeless. McFaul didn't last long and the season ended in relegation. It was a shame that Robertson wound up back so soon though. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Really hoped he was going to do well, but never had a prayer in the position he was played.

LincolnHearts 1,098 Report post Posted March 15, 2018 Alex MacDonald pictured with Kevin Keegan before kick off at Doddie's testimonial. Memories from that night include Doddie and Keegan being introduced to the crowd after the rest of the players had came onto the pitch, Davie Bowman wearing the number 6 shirt for Hearts and Keegan giving his shirt to Jock Wallace on the Rangers bench when he was subbed off. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
