Below was Cliftonhill at the beginning of the 1980s, and the main stand behind Tommy Gemmell's team of 1985/86 (the late Sammy Conn sat next to the chairman in the front row, and "Vodka Vic" back right). Although rudimentary the ground seems to have been kept as well as was possible. "The state of that 'stache" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivo den Bieman Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 Looks like the ground in the Bernie Slaven pic on the last page is old Ochilview after all! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, the polite reponses were always negative. A mighty loss to the game, these books. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about the Hibs page from the 88/89 edition listing Andy Goran's goal v Morton from the previous season? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arch Stanton Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 Cheers, the 100th league goal conceded by Morton that season and, 34 years later, the last to be conceded by them in the top division. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivo den Bieman Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 I used to love those season appearance matrices, league stalwarts & 1-appearance YTS boys, never to be seen again, alike. If people wanted the league review back I am sure it could be done on a crowdfunding / print on demand basis if there was goodwill from the club secretaries / chairmen for content. “The Pie & Bovril Scottish Football League Review” has a certain ring to it. Could even just be a downloadble .pdf / kindle for digital natives who cba with books. It would be a fun project for a few volunteers in a working group. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranaldo Bairn Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 These were the only 3 editions that came out of this book between 2008 and 2010. Great stats, good photos and comment. Well worth picking up if you can. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacksgranda Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 Maybe I'm reading too much into the opening paragraph of the editorial, but is this Third Lanark's first ever programme? "Once again we have made a start to a new Season and this being our first issue of the Club Programme..." I probably am. League Cup sectional tie with Celtic, plenty of reading, but my one gripe with Thirds' programmes over the years (and Clyde's up until the 70s) was the lack of fixtures/results and league tables. Whatever happened to Kelty Rangers? Were they a juvenile side, rather than junior? With the current controversy - at least on P&B - about "B" teams, it is interesting to note that Thirds' reserves would be playing in C Division. 2/6d (12 1/2p) for 33 weeks got you guaranteed away transport to all games. Celtic were getting late penalties even before the war... 6p for 10 cigarettes. I don't recognise any of the Thirds' players, apart from Jimmy Mason mentioned in the text, but I recognise Bobby Evans, Bobby Collins, Bertie Peacock and Charlie Tully in the Celtic line up. Is that Sean Fallon at full back rather than up front? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
