John S Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 That is a very good question Dave and I am glad you've asked it. Officially, not including possible extra trialists, I have a list of 7. Because the Journal is always sketchy with names, I have them all as 'Sneddon' not 'Snedden' but I'd be happy to amend if anyone can confirm. The 7 are: Alan, listed as a sub in a League Cup tie with Lithgae in 1978. Not 100% confirmed if he came on. 'A' Sneddon, no first name recorded just the initial, who played once at Broxburn in March 1968. John 'Bugle', who played in 3 separate spells between 1967 and 1975. Kenny, a full-back from Winchburgh Albion who played in 1983 Dick, who signed in April 1962 after being demobbed from the army. Robert, originally signed from Dunipace in 1961, had two spells at the clubthrough to 1965 Finally, a goalkeeper, no first name or source details, who played in June 1948 at Tranent. We lost 6-2, he was never heard of again. Impressive stuff. Looked up the scorer against Linlithgow. Can I give a clue? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deanburn Dave Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Theres an argument that Will Snowdon is almost a Sneddon.The surnames Sneddon and Snowdon both come from the Old English words for snow and hill.The Scots took Snaw and Dun and turned it into Snawdun.......which became Sneddon.The English took Snow and Dun and turned it into SnowDun.......which became Snowdon.Every day's a school day !! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambo'ness Posted February 22, 2019 Author Share Posted February 22, 2019 On this day in 2003 Armadale visited on League business. The 5-1 win for the BU's was no more than they deserved and the team was: N Binnie, Smith, King, Yates, Todd, Muirhead, Love (Hodge), Mooney, Ferguson, Herd (Jeffrey), Donald (Wood). Goals came from Derek Yates, Graeme Donald, a double from Ian Ferguson and Gordon Herd notched the other. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambo'ness Posted February 22, 2019 Author Share Posted February 22, 2019 Hopefully, someone will answer today's teaser. Go back to 2014 and we won 1-0 at Bonnyrigg through a Hissy goal. My question is, who was injured in the warm-up and had to be replaced? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
