We took a number of players from Airdieonians after they went bust and saved us from relegation in 2002. Allan Ferguson, Kevin James, Craig McPherson, Stuart Taylor, Owen Coyle and I'm pretty sure their manager Ian McCall. That was a different Airdrie Utd from the one we signed Gow from in 2005. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FFC wouldn't disclose the fee (they never do) but the press reports at the time had it as being around 50K. So the 60K quoted earlier by 60s Bairn is quite feasible. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Had a bit of admiration for Gow when he went off to play in India for a bit. Thought he played in Iran too but according to Wiki the negotiations didn't go through for whatever reason. Most UK players get freaked out playing in Italy and come home. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the backtracking over 30 quid when the boy Simon nailed him with screenshots is pretty good viewing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
