8MileBU Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 You hit the mark with Ross Philp. None of the rest though. Whilst the first two did, it wasn't in this game. Carrots is a correct answer though. Four to go.• Philp.• Carrigan.Scott Pitmann, Nathan Taggart? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambo'ness Posted August 4, 2019 Author Share Posted August 4, 2019 Going back to the 6 Alloa players. Well, you have found three now: Gary Carroll, Brian Carrigan & Ross Philp. The two that are stinkers to find are Hugh Kerr (mentioned last week) and Kerr Newbigging. That leaves one to find and I am surprised nobody has got him. He was even with us last season! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambo'ness Posted August 5, 2019 Author Share Posted August 5, 2019 August 5th 1959 and reigning League Champions Bo'ness kicked off the season at Linlithgow.

The team was: H Thomson, Kidd, Train, Hill, Millar, Myles, Roach, Watson, D Thomson, W Allan, Aitken 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Standalone Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 2 hours ago, John S said: Frankie Vaughan? Yes John, can remember Frankie. Played mostly at centre forward and scored a good lot of goals for the BU's. Heard he was not much of a singer though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
