Smurph Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Had a few European jaunts in the 90s too. Proper European football. Even had some in the 00s. This, singing the billy boys... You might as well just be Rangers fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squirrelhumper Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Just like magic this was in the paper today. Wonder when the glorious tales of Thistle's Inter Toto cup campaign will be told? IT’S 50 years since Kilmarnock legend Jackie McInally almost humbled the mighty Real Madrid.McInally’s memorable equaliser in the European Cup almost lifted the roof off Rugby Park in November 1965.However, that was nothing compared to the decibel level he reached years later when he discovered his boy, Alan, was using the famous white shirt as a training top for his youth team.Alan, who went on to play for Celtic and Bayern Munich, copped an earful from his dad for “disrespecting” the treasured possession that had been swapped with one of the Real side after the 2-2 draw.To put Kilmarnock’s second-round draw with Real into context, the Spaniards turned on the style with a 5-1 win in the return at the Bernabeu before going on to lift the trophy for the sixth time.Jackie, now 79, is feted around Kilmarnock for being part of the team that became Scottish champions in April 1965.The reward came seven months later when they were paired with Real in the European Cup.Alan said: “It’s amazing to think a little club like Kilmarnock went toe to toe with the mighty Real Madrid. They were the top team in Europe then.“In a similar vein to the Lisbon Lions the Kilmarnock side were mostly drawn from a 30-mile radius. Only the captain Frank Beattie was from outwith that.“My dad is 79 now and is having trouble with his memory so he doesn’t really recall those things so well now.“But he used to tell me the European games for Killie were special. Winning the league was great but there were two nights he put above that.“Once was in the 1964-65 season when he got one of the goals that helped Killie beat Eintracht Frankfurt 5-1 in a Fairs Cup tie after losing 3-0 in Germany. And the other was the Real Madrid game.“My mum has scrapbooks with all my dad’s games and she did the same for me. They are still there to this day.”Which is more than can be said for that Real shirt. Sheepishly Alan said: “I wore it for years underneath my own shirt for training, at Ayr United Boys’ Club and then when I signed for Ayr United.“I always remember the first time I did it. I was 13 and he found out I’d gone training at the boys’ club wearing it. He went mad!“He shouted, ‘That’s not for training! Take it off – you’ve ruined it’. I was just a daft boy. I understand now that I’m older and wish we had kept those things.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's just like the time Damon Gray of equally diddy Thistle scored against Deidco at Ibrox. Except it was in a cup final, and we won. Still, Thistle won it in '72 and have a kooky mascot, so it's all swings and roundabouts in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hammer Jag Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 There will be about 3000 there on Saturday which is a measure of where both clubs are nowadays. The same fixture would have attracted about double as much in the 90's. Both clubs taking huge away supports to each other's grounds was the norm back then. Sad times.

Maine Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 It's true, we only have 3 stands that we can't fill, Kilmarnock have 4, what a shadow to live in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
