When I picture it I see "Joe McCallan" wearing it so I`m figuring around 77/78? I visualise Wilson Hoggan in it, so I'm thinking it would be in his 2nd spell with us whenever that was? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did, if i mind right the day that Airdrie went into liquidation one of their players done the same thing at Brockville and hit a wee lassie in the face (nothing happened), recall a player getting sent off and I think we won 8- nil (just checked we did) https://www.thefreelibrary.com/Football%3A+BAIRNS+WALKING+ON+AIR%3B+Falkirk+8+Airdrie+0.-a060293162 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HopeStreetWalker Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 20 hours ago, 51 Bairn said: I would love to see a retro version of the late 70’s Bukta shirt as a zip top (like the brockville one from this season), especially with continual bukta logo in the thin tramlines down the sleeves (but it was not part of the zip tops back in the day - see team photo). Although it’s also from a league winning season, It’s probably due to it being from the first games I was taken to by my Dad and Gramps Team photo from the fantastic, better meddle.org.uk. I also used an image of the top Lewis shared many moons ago to give a better idea of the long sleeves with bukta logo and thin tramlines . Burrell ? Hay Watson Perry Holt Brown McCallan ? Stevenson ? Thompson Hoggan anybody fill in the blanks 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HopeStreetWalker Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 Talking of old strips there was a good one in the George Miller manager debacle in the mid 70's white and blue verticle stripes tops, matt cherry red shorts and White socks. Remembers Johnny Graham (2nd spell) wearing it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have been 12 then and I always mind a pal of mine got a Purple Hibs Bukta away top as a present even though he was a Falkirk supporter. Bukta had some cracking tops in they days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crunchie McAllister ran over and caught the wee girl before she fell off the advertsing board. Recall the police having to hold back a very angry dad after the player gave a wee wave as an "apology", shat it and ran away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The areas affected are roughly in the same sections on both sides. They are quite long, could be the areas where the lighting rigs are put. But grass is good, artificial bad according to the Premiership clubs 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
