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?

You may well be correct as Falkirk were the opponents in his testimonial match 😀

With current WC in Qatar: tomorrow is 35yr since Rangers became first Scots to lift revived British championship (Dubai Champions Cup) in UAE.

They won 8-7 on pens v Everton after 2-2 draw. This was despite seeing 6 goals ruled out for offside!

Arthur Hamill is/was a Cowie man, used to work with him when he was a labourer at the Plumbing firm I once worked at, unsure if he is still with us?

Robert Fleck looks like he has just found out that, with them being in Dubai, he will likely be beheaded if he celebrates with a post match beer or ten with some ladies for company

Probably the last time Souness and Roberts were all smiles together.

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.

As I posted earlier and having now seen the Hearts line-up, I'm certain that's Ian Sneddon adjacent to Ernie Winchester's elbow in a Dougall sort of way.

I know Ian well and I'm glad to report he's doing fine.

Aye, I think he is, turned 83 in Spring this year.

Slightly later era, but another two players called Arthur come to mind - Grant and Graham.

Don’t know Arthur Thompson’s position but all the other four (Duncan, Hamill, Grant and Graham) were left wingers.

Another 'Arthur' from the late '60s/early '70s in this picture: Arthur Thomson (not the one who nailed debtors to doors), with his Hearts team mates in 1968.

That Hearts Cup Final squad I posted a couple of days ago: I overlooked another Arthur, who is there in plain sight. Burntisland's Arthur Mann played in the 1968 Cup Final. After that he was signed by Joe Mercer for league champions Manchester City for a club record fee and played out his career down south for the next decade. 

A sign of the times was that he then worked in a factory, where he was killed at the early age of 51 in an industrial accident.684132632_ArthurMann.thumb.jpg.bb67fdc22d6efbaa5e5559983d796791.jpg

Mann with his Hearts blazer and tie, on Wembley Road in Manchester following his move.

His career was said to have been limited by his refusal to fly, as Manchester City travelled south and to Europe by plane.

Think Arthur Thompson was a central defender. I'll give you Arthur Graham, forgot about him, but Arthur Grant, played into the 'nineties and is younger than me, which is another benchmark 😉

Two others:

Arthur Paterson played at Kilbowie and Somerset Park and also was a scorer for Irvine Meadow in a Junior Cup Final victory.
Arthur McMillan, a full back, was a long time servant for Hamilton Accies in the late 60s through to the late 70s.

Ian St John at a snowy Anfield, and Bill Shankly helping clear the pitch pre match in 1964.

Even growing up in the 80's I can regularly recall games being played in conditions like this, as well as quagmire pitches. 

These days the slightest bit of snow covering or square metre of surface water and games are off.

Think that's Joe Baker in the centre of the picture.

Must be 2 or 3 years later as Joe Baker was at Arsenal until 1966.
