The last (likely ever) 70k+ crowd at a Scotland home game. I was there with my wife, who was my fiancée at the time, in the North Enclosure. Every time the Kenny Dalglish goal is shown she reminds me. What a game it was and you just took that type of performance by Scotland for granted back then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Chief Toffee Teeth Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 I was at that one.Likewise. Can still remember the relief that an ageing Santillana was starting for Spain, rather than the emerging Butrogueño. And, of course, a Scottish appearance by Goikoetxea, The Butcher of Bilbao, who had recently broken Maradona's ankle.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Wolf Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 I was at that game too. I was precisely as drunk as you'd expect a first year student to be, so my recollection is rather hazy. I certainly enjoyed it though! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my memories of that game is the Spanish manager calling the Scot's performance a 'masterpiece of technique'. And aye...it was pretty much par for the course back then... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Jean King Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 I watched that game in a pub called the Mill House in Stillorgan, a suburb of Dublin, in the company of two Scots. We had a great day+night. The following morning wasn't particularly enjoyable, alas. The Mill House still going strong, cracking pub. We stay in Stillorgan any time we are going to Leopardstown races 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Main Stand and Johnnie Walker Stand, probably 1977 1994. Scanned from an old slide so poor quality. I used to stand in the Johnnie Walker terracing when I first went to Rugby Park. God knows why now as you were miles from seeing the action at the other end. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dundee Hibernian Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 21 hours ago, The Mantis said: Tannadeechay in 1991. Mo Malpas testimonial These must be Rangers fans in the photograph, for some reason Maurice Malpas got them for his testimonial (perhaps the main one being they brought a pile of supporters, boosting his testimonial fund). Malpas was quite a 'Marmite' player for some fans, including me, but the type of guy we're missing presently. Some argued that rule changes in 1992, were detrimental to his performances, but that was more in reference to his opposition appointed nickname of 'Maurice Backpass'. He was the only part time player in our League winning side of 1983, and was awarded a second testimonial match in 2000, having played under 5 different Tannadice managers. To play for so many managers is not that a difficult task these days at Tannadice, Peter Pawlett, signed in 2019, has already managed that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's right, it's my own pic. Think the bulk of the crowd were along the side but can't remember if there was segregation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incredible to think it was 30 years ago. All I really remember of the game is that it was entirely forgettable.
