Good way of promoting your appearance at a Glasgow theatre without pissing off half of your potential audience.

Gordon Jackson , performed in an Orson Welles play never mind Hudson and Cowley
and Mutiny on the Bounty

Think Gordon Jackson must have won the golden boot for 1966 including a hat trick in the semi and final.
Hats off to old Hudson and Cowley.
Funny that Celtic with Jim Craig ( Glasgow University graduate) was in successive winning teams and Thistle with Dennis McQuade ( another Glasgow University graduate ) lost the only match they played. Typical.

Funnily enough we were chatting at work the other day about players Thistle lost to the OF (Glavin, Mo Johnston etc) and those they got in the other direction. Kenny Watson was one of the to better ones in the latter category.
There was some hilarity about a guy known as Honey Monster from Celtic but cant remember his name.
Only ones I can remember coming from Celtic were Gerry Britton and Murdoch the goalie. ( Later a police officer ) He was a big bloke so might be him.
FTR best old firm singing we made IMO was Alex O' hara, great servant for the club. ( or maybe KW) .
Just thought Dixie Deans did sign for is for about six weeks in late 70s but never heard of him being described as the honey monster.

Classic profile answers from Kenny. Likes steak, Pele, John Denver, Paul Newman and wants to own a pub. Good solid 8/10 from the lad there.
Became one of my favourite Thisle players ever, a sort of John Robertson player without the pace.

In season 73/74 the offside rules were changed in the LC as well . Led to some great games eg St Mirren 4 Clyde 5 in the 1/4 Final. http://www.stmirrenprogrammes.co.uk/StMirren/STM_Match_Details.php?Season=1973&GameID=197310100
This was used in the 74 / 75 League cup. No pictures unfortunately but your dad may recall Dennis McQuade scoring a superb goal against Clyde in the sections, Great run and goal with or without the offside rule. . Thistle won the group and drew Airdrie in the quarter final.
The league had started by then ( with normal offside rules) and by the time the quarter final was played, the Jags had completely forgotten the LC rules and Airdie hammered us 5-2 at Firhill. Good Airdie side though with Derek Mountfield, Paul Jonquin and Drew Busby.

I was also at the Man U match and don’t think Jackie Campbell played , must have been injured. My guess the Thistle player is right back Brian Ralston. Afraid your memory’s all over the place about Jackie’s testimonial in 1980 , I was at that too and it was a Jackie Campbell Select v 1971 League Cup Winners. I have a memory that Hercules The Bear was due to “play” in that game, but to our disappointment Hercules never left a big van parked behind the goals at the Ruchill Park end. Probably would have been carnage if he had played I suppose! I can’t recall West Brom playing at Firhill, maybe you are thinking of a young Laurie Cunningham with Orient in an Anglo-Scottish Cup tie.You are right re JC's testomonial. Better get some memory pills or not post after a few beers, but I still keep thinking that we played WBA sometime in late 70s / early 80s. (pre season friendly ??) Def wasnt the Orient match, they beat us both home and away and as you said Laurie Cunningham ran us ragged supported by an even younger John Chiedozie, probably first black players I saw at the home of football

This must be the match ...
It was indeed Donnie's testimonial. Man U won 3-0 and Bestie played to the crowd a lot. The player in the photo I believe is Sir Jack Campbell, who was the next Thistle player to get a testimonial, against West Brom with Robson, Regis and I think Laurie Cunningham.

What was Sporting's sell on clause when they bought him? I seem to remember 50 million being quoted. Wonder if they will ever activate it? :-)

Great effort tonight, but midfield looked outfought without Osman. Keown and Turnbull were superb, Elliott was great going forward but struggled badly against Tierney. Cerny didn't have a save in the second half. Lots of positives to take to perth next week.

Wasn't Laurie Cunningham's first game in Glasgow though. That would have been in 1976.
He scored the only goal that night.
Hate to say it but he was horribly racially abused by some of our fans. ( think there were one or two others in the Orient team as well, Vince Hillaire?) Might have been the 70s and ignorance and all that but terrible anyway.
