Years to compile and came to the conclusion that Scotland should have a ten team top flight, despite every other league in Europe of any significance, having a 16 or 18 team top division. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weirdly the composition of this photo really reminds me of the famous Rembrandt painting, The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Tulp, although the Cowden keeper is (presumably) still alive.

Liverpool won 5-2. Must be one of very few pictures of Frank in a Liverpool jersey playing alongside first team players as he never ever played a competitive game for Liverpool. I think Frank made a massive mistake in not staying at Liverpool. IIRC it was Bob Paisley who got Frank interested in horse racing and betting which was a downfall for him and his marriage. One of the greatest natural goal scorers Scotland has produced. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was playing for Svendborg at the time. Slightly less glamorous, here he is playing for Ardrossan Winton Rovers against Kilbirnie Ladeside in a Junior Cup tie in the early 70s. Apparently, this was the first match I ever attended (but as I was around 2 years old I have no memory of it). 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivo den Bieman Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 Managers when they were players. Alex Neil in the colours of Mansfield Town, 2004-5. He lasted just a season at Field Mill despite being a near ever-present with 41 appearances. Keith Curle was sacked by Mansfield during the season and his replacement, Carlton "The Relegator" Palmer, freed Neil at the end of the season- after which he came up the road to finish his career with a long spell at Hamilton Accies. Andy Barrowman was at Mansfield then too. Neil is front row, second from right in the team group. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I probably never phrased it right. I believe in his book he wrote that through his friendship with Emlyn Hughes and Bob Paisley his betting took on a whole different level as they had “contacts” plus the increased wages led to increased bets and subsequent losses. Unless you can control you gambling it’s a terrible addiction. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first between Scottish League clubs was Stenhousemuir v Hibernian in November 1951, but Ochilview had had lights since 1945, with the lights turned on after a match against Dumbarton. The SFA wouldn't sanction their use in competitive games until some years later. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dundee Hibernian Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 More on floodlights in Scottish football: https://knoji.com/article/floodlights-in-scottish-football/ From the article: "The very first attempt at floodlights in Scottish football happened way back in October 1878. Third Lanark invited Vale of Leven to play a friendly match under lights. At the time, electricity was very much in its infancy. The ‘floodlight’ used was nothing more than a single beam that was operated from a platform fifty feet above the pitch. Much of the game was played in darkness as the operator struggled to move his ‘light’ to keep up with play. It was a decent enough experiment of playing under artificial light but it wasn’t going to catch on – not like that anyway. As an aside, the match finished 2-1 to Third Lanark." Ochilview match in 1951: Stenhousemuir 3 Hibernian 5. Hibs wore their traditional green jerseys with white sleeves, Stenhousemuir maroon and white hoops. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
