They played Queens at a very icy Palmerston just before Christmas. Aye, I think it was 4-0 to Partizan, in a game following a rematch at Tannadice which they won 1-0. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty older than me on here I hope! Anyway, this picture was probably from 1969, not '68: United didn't change to tangerine until the start of 69-70 season. The United player is Doug Smith, a fantastic centre half who went through his career of over 600 games never being booked. He later owned a pub in the city (The Athletic, I think), and was a club director for almost 20 years. Ernie Winchester may be the Hearts striker. Both these players were from Aberdeen, born several years apart, and both died within months of each other around 10 years ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sergeant Wilson Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 I got Doug Smith, but had to look up the Hearts player. I remember him now. Why are there so few names like Ernie Winchester now? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked up the match: Rene Moller didn't play that night, if it was the one where Winchester scored a double for Hearts. The away side was listed as Jim Cruickshank .1 Ian Sneddon .2 Alan Anderson .3 Eddie Thomson .4 Willie McAlpine .5 George Fleming .6 Arthur Townsend .7 David Clunie .8 Ernie Winchester .9 Donald Ford .10 Neil Murray .11 on Arab Archive. https://www.arabarchive.co.uk/matchdetails.php?id=3066 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think that's Jim Townsend in the central background? I should have recognised the first name was wrong on the site, used to have a chewing gum card of Jim Townsend when he was with St Johnstone. Arthur as a first name had me stumped. The only player from that time I recall as an Arthur was Arthur Duncan at Thistle then Hibs. Don't know why this picture was used in a 'Football League Review'. Might the other Hearts player be Neil Murray, who never played that often for the club? Came from a Highlands club, later played for Morton. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Presented by Courtesy of the Club" suggests it didn't come direct from the League. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A terrific player, his testimonial was in 1971. So he did! Went on to The Mariners to finish his career. Would I be correct in saying he used to take great delight when at the 'Shire in winding up Falkirk fans?

HibeeJibee Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 (edited) Seems to be genuine cover. Caption inside: I think I read somewhere the Football League Review - which was available on its own (see price 1s) but also commonly got issued as a complimentary insert in club programmes (see "presented by courtesy of the club") - was for a while available in Scotland. It certainly carried stories beyond strict limits of FL divisions, League Cup and representative XI.

It only lasted one season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
