drs Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 (edited) Ipswich Town in the late 60s on a break in Perthshire* - playing Breadalbane in Aberfeldy. Town in the Blue and White for those of you watching in B&W - with the manager being the one in specs. He started the first half and when it was still close at half time brought on the likes of Gerry Baker. Think its 1967. * - the owner was the local Laird and would often bring the team to his estate for some relaxation.

PossilYM Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 On 20/03/2023 at 19:11, Dundee Hibernian said: Hampden's North Stand, according to the tremendous "Football Grounds of Britain" by Simon Inglis, was added in 1937, contributing an additional 4,500 seats to bring the capacity up to 150,000. It was designed by Archibald Leith's firm, although he was all but retired and died two years later. Inglis writes demolition began in 1981, by which time Thatcher's promise to grant 5.5 million pounds in 1980 had been reversed on the advice of Ian Sproat MP, an avid cricket fan. I sat in it at the Scotland-England matches of 1968 and 1970, both drawn, the second being of note for the amount of forged tickets produced bringing the attendance 3,000 over capacity. Even as a youngster, I didn't feel the stand gave an aura of security or safety. North Stand was the second last major infrastructure project at the old Hampden. Last being the cover at the "Rangers End" in the late 1960s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PossilYM Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 On 24/03/2023 at 20:46, Dundee Hibernian said: Scotland v Germany at Ibrox, 1936. Scotland won 2-0 with Jimmy Delaney scoring two second half goals, his first for his country. Around 500 German supporters attended, visiting from a cruise ship which had been scheduled to visit Glasgow and Dublin to visit the Ibrox game and on against Ireland (a 5-2 loss). These 'fans' were, in fact, all Nazi Party members, Hitler being a keen advocate of rewarding loyalty with holidays. The party organised cruises as far as the Canary Islands, and also built the world's largest holiday camp, at Prora as part of the Nazi's Strength Through Joy policy. Off topic, but if you are interested in massive concrete constructions, you should search for images of Prora, 'Hitler's Holiday Camp'. And everyone of the party faithful had a camera. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flybhoy Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Kenny Dalglish receiving his 100th cap in 1986 before a 3-0 win in a friendly against Romania. My two memories of this match are Gordon Strachan scoring an exquisite chip and this horrendous, diarrhoea coloured full length leather jacket worn by Franz Beckrnbauer. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flybhoy Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 And here is wee Gordon Strachan doing a spot of modelling for some Scotland stuff in the run up to the 1986 World Cup in Mexico, back in the days when we used to regularly qualify for them, this tournament was number 4 or the 5 we qualified for in succession, the very notion of which seems absolutely mental these days. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure the bespectacled Ipswich Manager is Bill McGarry and the player on the extreme right is Scotsman Bill Baxter who later left for Hull City due to 'ill-discipline' in his relationship with incoming boss Bobby Robson. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
