Jambo, how about giving us the top 10 of appearances for the BU's.

Only problem there is that some would be approximates as team-lines not available for a number of games but I'll have a wee look and get back with it soon.

Now back to 1947 and the visitors in a League match were Dalkeith Thistle.  A crowd of close on 3000 saw the BU's win 6-0 in the bright sunshine.  Thistle 'keeper Muir dislocated a wrist when the score was 2-0.  The BU's line-up was: Stanners, W. Mitchell, Brash, Paton, Stewart, McKie, McGowan, Dickson, Anderson, Pryde, McLean

Goals came from John McGowan who netted two, one a penalty, a hat-trick from James Anderson and one from Jim McLean.

Teaser today.  Back in '98 we faced Dalkeith Thistle at home in the Brown Cup.  It ended 2-2.  Who scored the goals for us and what was the penalty shoot-out score?

BUMP

Tough teaser today, at least I think so.  Back in 2002, the BU's secured a 1-0 win at Nitten.  Who scored the winner on his debut?
I'll have a bash, Martin Mooney? May be too early for him though.
