The Thistle Archive Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 6 hours ago, Braesoyetts said: That 313 games for Johnny Jackson is insane. Reminds me a bit of Cal Ripken over here (baseball), who played in 2.131 consecutive games (162 a season in baseball) without a rest day or injury spell. Does anyone know what the overall record in Scottish football is? I know not every club is lucky to have such a great archive as we do, but just curious…. I wanted to know that myself a few years back, so went out of my way to properly research it. Johnny's the top man in league terms: Most Consecutive Scottish League Appearances 258 - Johnny Jackson (Partick Thistle, GK) 28th August 1926 to 25th March 1933 251 - Doug Smith (Dundee Utd, CH) 19th February 1964 to 18th September 1971 On the 'first class' competitive front (query includes all SFL, SPL, SPFL, Scottish Cup, League Cup, Summer Cup, European, Drybrough Cup and Anglo-Scottish Cup matches) Johnny is still the top man in Scottish football history: Most Consecutive Competitive Scottish Club Football Appearances 288 - Johnny Jackson (Partick Thistle, GK) 28th August 1926 to 25th March 1933 282 - Ally Shewan (Aberdeen, CH) 19th October 1963 to 23rd April 1969 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiegoDiego Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 Best result of the weekend was Cove getting beaten. I had nightmares of being stuck in a league with Perth, Airdrie, Cove, Falkirk and Livingston as away days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy and his pals contributed to a wonderful atmosphere in hospitality on Saturday... Aye, he might have mentioned it once or twice... thanks Rob 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Undoubtedly an advantage being a keeper, but just imagine playing more than six and a half years without missing a league or cup game - especially given the tackles that players (even keepers) were subjected to in those days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thistledo Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 Imagine a few clubs will be looking at him, but Rumarn Burrell seems to have had a tremendous season with Cove, potential replacement for Adeloye assuming he's going back to his club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adeloye is out of contract this summer. Personally would love to have him back for a season. Being on the bench might suit his injury recovery but would imagine his Swindon wages would be a good bit more than we can offer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may have to wait until he's fit before another club even takes a shot on him? We must have paid a fair chunk of his Swindon wage. I think 40/50% is the usual kind of agreed amount. I'd be more than happy to get him back if fit and we are still at Championship level. Not so sure on Premiership? (You have to dream). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneteaminglasgow Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 As I recall, Adeloye was very keen to go down south when he was leaving Ayr so I would imagine he’ll stay down there again if he can. Would absolutely take him back though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
