  1. I'm a bit late to the party but here are two clipping from old newspapers.

    The JamesEwing1.png image is from the Football News (Nottingham) dated 22/4/1911

    The JamesEwing2.png image is from the Scottish Referee dated 25/2/1911

  2. I'll assume I'm barking up the right tree here. Let me know if I have the correct Cup competition.

    Motherwell 1- 2 Celtic 1987

    Dunfermline 2 -1 Dundee 1988

    Dundee United 0 -1 Celtic 1989

  3. Here is some info for old newspaper clippings that might help.

    One is from the Devon Valley Tribune (a newspaper from Clackmannanshire) dated 7th November 1899 and another from the Alloa Advertiser from 11 March 1911.

  4. Since 2005-6 and the introduction of the play-offs, Stranraer have featured 8 times and lost them all.  I make it 2005-6,2006-7,2007-8,2011-12,2013-14,2014-15,2015-16 and 2020-21.

    Airdrie are sitting on played in 6 play offs and lost them all with the games against Morton to come.

    Raith are sitting on played in 6 play offs and lost them all.

    Alloa and Cowdenbeath have won the most playoffs, with 4 each. Fun facts.

     

  5. There are two more names to this list:-

    Andy Matthew played for all 4 and Rangers.  They bought him for £4500 from East Fife in 1958 and sold him to Raith for the same sum 2 years later. He went on to manage Raith and Cowdenbeath.

    Robert Gordon Forrest (more commonly known as Gordon Forrest and not be confused with Bobby Forrest who also played for Dunfermline). He played from 1972/3 to 1983/4 for all 4. 

  6. Found a couple of newspaper articles.  

    One from the Stage on 10th March 1977 about his death and one from the P&J on 26th July 1974 about his retirement.

    Worth looking at the BBC's archive of the Radio Times which you can find here:- https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/

    By searching '"Peter Thomson" football you'll find listing such as the second half of a floodlight match between Falkirk and Newcastle on 20th October 1953 where he co-commentated with Kenneth Wolstenholm.

  7. Here are 4 images that, I think, proves that J.Boyd is John Boyd the ex-East Stirling keeper as suggested.

    The first image is from the archives of the Singapore newspaper called the 'Straits Time'. It appears on 18th May 1962 edition of the paper and states that J.Boyd played for Stirling Albion but I doubt this is correct. You can see a small image of J.Boyd (fifth from the left) as well as Jim Baxter etc.

    The next three images come from a book on East Stirling that came out about 40 years ago.  The photo is from 1959 and you can see that J.Boyd (third from left at the back) looks like guy in the Singapore newspaper photo.  Similar hairline?
