It was a clash of heads and it says accidental but if I remember right there was a lot of anger in our support as we felt the Morton player went for a ball he had zero chance of getting. If I knew how to copy links I would put it in here, I just googled Marino Keith Injury and found it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What were you worried about? 2-0 win over Hearts, (I was at that game) the only other games he played (2) were in the Stirlingshire Cup. What worried me & a good few others was that he might have played another first team game!!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hughsie Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 14 minutes ago, Harry Kinnear said: I’m sure he ended up fracturing his skull, he went up for a ball with the defender who if I mind correctly done him with an elbow. He was out before he hit the deck and his body went into spasm, the players round about him knew it was serious right away and waved for physios/doctors to come into the pitch. He was getting treatment for what seemed like an eternity. In those days the away fans were in the covered area to the left of the open terracing we get now and it happened right in front of us. Like Shagger said above I thought he was dead as did most of the Bairns fans, was horrific to witness it. I was there as a young kid and was certainly traumatised about it for a while afterwards. I used to look away every time players went up for headers for years afterwards. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HopeStreetWalker Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 11 hours ago, Duncan Freemason said: That was the name of the pitch purely because it was lined on 3 sides by Beech trees. The road that runs down to the new school (the bungalow to the right was the PE teacher’s house). On the right were the two hockey pitches and two football pitches. On the left, was another hockey pitch, and then a small dry stone wall running at 90 degrees to the road. Beyond that little wall was the pitch known as Beechfield. Not used as often as the main pitches, but was used by the school every now and then. On the far side of the pitch was rough grassland that sloped down to the Carron Dams. Many epic 8 - 9 a side bounce games on the Bleachfield Hockey pitch on Sunday's early 70's Was as good as weeky Falkirk v Camelon derbies they went on for about 3 hours taking on water at J K Miller's at half time. Lot of good football played, competitive but fair and not one vandetta. Looking back we did not realise just how fit we were.
