Dave broke his leg in the game, a fact that he's keen to tell anyone who will listen, and was subsequently sold to Crewe Alexandra before retiring in 1966 to focus on his own chain of supermarkets. He later sold them to Ken Morrison and around this time bought over JJB, the rest is history. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurkst Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Last one before everyone's gets totally bored. And it's a doubler. Two here. Ran it by ma faither who got off to a flyer, L-R: Bobby Collins, Tommy Docherty, Willie Ormond, Graham Leggat, Bobby Evans, Eric Caldow. Then it went to pot until Bill Brown at the end. Some further research shows the other 3 players were Duncan Mackay, David Herd and John Dick. The photo was not from 1956 as per the name of the jpeg but actually of the team that lost 1-0 at Wembley in 1959. The only one missing from the XI was Dave Mackay. Maybe he took the photo?... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moses Supposes Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 (edited) A so-called match card for the second ever international, played at Kennington Oval in 1873. Note, if you can see just about, that in these days before shirt numbers, players were identified by their different coloured caps and socks. This practice was continued for several years and is still practised by the Barbarian rugby team.

O.K. it was 11 years before they were formed but still, for shame SFA! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Barbarians rugby club tradition is that you wear your own club socks (or the socks of your first club I think, if you are without a club). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamtart1972 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 On 11/27/2018 at 19:25, Flybhoy said: There was a shitload of crowd trouble towards end of 1985 season in England, huge riots at Birmingham v Leeds and Luton v Millwall amongst others, I vaguely remember this being a factor, FA feared loads of right wing groups getting together in London so it was switched to Hampden at just a few weeks notice. The British Home Championships ended in 1983/84, nothing to do with right wing politics at all, if that was one of the reasons then its a pretty poor one, typical lazy journalism. From what i remember it was simply down to a combination of poor football, England's desire to play against better opposition as they thought they were better than the rest, and yes, football hooliganism was at it's peak so no need to add fuel to an already burning fire but the tournament was dying and it needed changing, the English FA weren't interested in continuing with that format in place hence why The Stanley Rous Cup Competition was invented. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is an argument that the Scotland v England match was the only one that mattered and that both nations combined to sh#t on Wales and Northern Ireland but keep the glamour fixture going in the form of the Rous Cup. The success of Scotland, England and Northern Ireland in qualifying for Spain 82 and the anticipation that they might (and did) repeat the feat at Mexico 86 raised questions about where the Home Internationals could fit in the football calendar. Scheduling was also difficult due to the regular participation of English clubs in the final stages of European competition which in that era also involved numerous Scottish, Welsh and Irish players as well as English. I always liked the Home Internationals but in hindsight it had become stagnant and probably a bit parochial too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
