Jambo'ness Posted August 1, 2019 Author Share Posted August 1, 2019 August 1st Pride of place today is back to 1979, when the Benefit match for Ian McQueen was held. The opponents were St Mirren and the scoreline finished 1-1, Lex Shields notching the BU's goal. At that point Ian had played just over 300 games for us and was to play over a 100 more before he retired in 1985 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambo'ness Posted August 3, 2019 Author Share Posted August 3, 2019 Seeing as it's match day, here's a teaser to get your teeth into. Back in 2009 we played a young side from Alloa Athletic and registered a 3-1 win a Newtown. No fewer than 6 (SIX) of the Alloa players went on to play for the BU's at some point. Can you name them? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No recollection of playing them though! Whilst the first two did, it wasn't in this game. Carrots is a correct answer though. Four to go. Wee clue. One mentioned earlier this week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John S Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 It is a tester. I only saw five that I recognised with one that might be. I doubt anyone would remember them all without checking the team list. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambo'ness Posted August 3, 2019 Author Share Posted August 3, 2019 First question from everyone today on the bus was 'Who was the last BU player to score a hat-trick of penalties?' The simple answer is today is a first! Well done Morgy! In 1969 'Duke' Rae scored two of his four goals from the spot in an 8-0 win over Kelty Rangers and another six have scored two as part of a hat-trick. Most recently Colin Strickland in a 6-1 win over Fauldhouse in 2017. Former Bo'ness player Donald Ford did score a hat-trick of penalties away to Morton in 1973. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
