My dad was an Alloa player Mungo McCallum and passed away when I was young I found this thread through google search and noticed people mentioning him on this thread. I know this is an ask but looking to purchase a shirt (L/XL) or something with his name on it if anyone has one. I do have a few things from these times but a shirt in my size is sadly not one.

Don't have a shirt for you, Sam, but Mungo was a tremendous player. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone with any info about this please DM me I happy to pay and stories are always welcome. Long live the wasps! Fond memories of watching your Dad play back when I first started watching Alloa, Sam. Remember in particular a hat-trick at Meadowbank just after we went up to the First Division. Shirts from that era aren't too easy to find and quite expensive. There is site that does replicas. They aren't 100% accurate and I think some of the reviews are a bit mixed, but I got a couple of tops from them and they are decent enough (although they took a while to arrive). You could maybe do that and get the name on the back yourself. I'll DM you the site. As it happens, the company Matchwinner has been revived in recent times and they're working with a number of clubs to do proper remakes of shirts, jackets etc from that era. Stuff looks really nice. Perhaps if enough Alloa fans asked the club they might look into it. I remember MM saying before they'd be happy to look at ways of doing stuff with the old badge if it was feasible, this might be a way to do it.

Rosenberg - Leverkusen played at -15°C. Last night Helsinki Aberdeen at -5°C. Temperature is not as big a deal as precipitation and we often dodge snow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sixtyten Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 I can only echo the previous comments on Mungo McCallum, he signed in my first season following Alloa and he was excellent. Gregor Abel made some incredible signings that season and Mungo was among the best of them. If not for a bad injury the following season, he would surely have ended up playing at a higher level. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rory Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 Any idea if there will be a pitch inspection today? Hopefully game will go ahead but not sure if weather worse down Annan way for them travelling 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigMartyn86 Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 I suspect it won’t be the last time a game is called off this season on our all weather pitch. A sign of where the club is heading under the new chairman after Mike losing interest in Alloa to focus on his role at the SFA. No more publicity stunts or back breaking effort from the ground staff is required now at Alloa since Mike is at the top table of Scottish football. It was fun whilst it lasted I guess. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did we just nick their mascot, or did the club somehow end up getting the same guy to produce a logo? I've never seen an explanation and it's really odd that we ended up with a minor American university's hornet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayback machine shows a wasp badge for UWS in at least 2005 although the design is slightly different. Probably whoever designed ours just copied the design and cleaned up the lines. It does annoy me slightly about our colours. The one that is trademarked is this: But the SPFL and SFA have a washed out blurry yellow 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
