  1. Could I pick your brain and ask if you have any stats on my cousin's late husband, Davie Thomson during his spell with you.
    Davie was on BU's books late 50's, I think signed from Bothkennar.
    He signed for Dunfermline, played and scored in the Pars victory over Celtic in the replay of the 1960-61 Scottish Cup Final. He then moved on to Leicester City, Queen of the South, Berwick Rangers, returned to junior footie with LRFC and a short spell at what was then called New Blackburn.
    Thank you.
     
     
     
    Hi, is this the same Davie that stayed in Skinflats?
  2. Remember Bobby refereeing 70's /  80's - strict but efficient and liked a bit of banter on the pitch 
    I remember he booked me in the changing room before a game once just to save himself time later because he knew I would take liberties on the pitch later because he was my uncle, lol
    I didn't, had a blinder and he had to score it out his book.
    "Durty Bo'ness " was his usual cry on the pitch.
    Whit a character.


  3. The 2nd, historically is another date that has regularly seen Junior Cup action.  Lanark United have been the opponents twice.  Firstly in 1950, a 4th round tie was drawn 2-2 at Newtown.  Then wind forward to 1982 and a 3rd round tie, again at Newtown saw Jackie Dunn score a brace in a 2-0 win.
    My favourite result comes from 1958 however, when the BU's travelled to Prestonfield in an R L Rae Cup tie and returned home over the flints with a 5-0 win under their belts.
    The team that day was; Wilson, Martin, Gavin, Dair, McKenzie, Collumbine, Philp, Millar, Cummings, Sinclair, Davidson
    Goals came from a hat-trick by Davie Philp, an own goal and a penalty from ex-Hamilton Accies player Tommy Dair.


    Would that be Robert ( bobby) Wilson in goals against the Rose?
