lionel wickson Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 I remember johnnie grahams debut forty seven years ago. Nine years is a blink of the eye. Along with (Billy?) McMurray from Albion Rovers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silverton End Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Can remember Lawrie Williams, big Donald McNeil in defence, Graeme Sinclair, John & Derek Whiteford, Ian Wallace, Jumbo muir, John bourke etc. Most of all I recall having to cover my young ears because the crowd noise was so loud ???? Sneaking into the ground via the Pigeon Huts behind Boghead Avenue too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Vojáček Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Craig Brittain made his debut for us when I was two weeks old... I'm enjoying making P&Bs DFC community feel elderly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Craig Brittain made his debut for us when I was two weeks old... I'm enjoying making P&Bs DFC community feel elderly.

Casey Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 On a more sombre note, Dumbarton lost a long time fan this morning. Alex Barr from Bowling sat in Row M behind me and a few (esp David B & wee Alan) will know him and that he's been unwell for a while. Followed Sons from the 40s. He thoroughly enjoyed promotion day at Annan. RIP auld yin, you're a legend. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howlin' Wilf Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 £100,000 for Steve McCahill, just a few days after they beat us 0-3 at Boghead, IIRC. Ended up at morton about a year later. My first game as a Dumbarton steward. Alex Wright confided in me at the time that the McCahill sale to Celtic saved possible administration proceedings by the estate of Sir Hugh Fraser who were looking for repayment if a £40,000 loan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sons'r'us Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 £100,000 for Steve McCahill, just a few days after they beat us 0-3 at Boghead, IIRC. Ended up at morton about a year later. My first game as a Dumbarton steward. As others have said we definitely sold McCahill after the 2-0 scottish cup defeat to Celtic at Parkhead. The 3-0 league cup game you refer, I also made my one and only appearance as a turnstile operator that night. I recall the police wouldn't let me round to join my friends after my shift as i had ended up in the Celtic end. They had tried to segregate us that night. August 89 i think it was. I think the scottish cup game at Parkhead was maybe Jan 89. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He thoroughly enjoyed promotion day at Annan. RIP auld yin, you're a legend. Really sorry to hear that Casey, he was a one-off, the big man. And possibly and perhaps probably the only Sons fan in attendance when we played a friendly years ago in Coleraine in Northern Ireland. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThirdrockfromtheSon Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 To those that corrected me, thanks. I must have got the games mixed up. I thought McCahill was sold after my first steward duty. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howlin' Wilf Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Yes it was after that Scottish Cup match at Parkhead. At 0-0 Andy McQuaid missed a sitter to put Sons, at the time languishing near the bottom of the league, (maybe even bottom) 1-0 up. If I remember correctly Celtic brought Tommy Burns on as a sub and he broke the deadlock late in the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nowhereman Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 That display at Parkhead was quite astonishing given that it was in the dark days of Pat Cairney et al. Far better than our 4-0 capitulation a few years ago 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
