Found a photo with a caption, with the Thistle player named as "Rae". Alex Rae ? I was thinking more like Jackie Campbell (from my memory of him on my football cards). Surely, with an arse that size, somebody must be able to identify that Partick player 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm more concerned about the thighs I was going to mention them too, but was concerned that it would look like I had spent too much time studying this man’s body in detail. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulbrucerick Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 (edited) Hugh Sproat in, I'm guessing, a blue goalie top defending the Somerset Road End goal( I think judging by the building outside). Looks like Roy Aitken in the background. Guessing that's a kid in full kit on the touchline. Edited July 31, 2019 by paulbrucerick 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would need an Aberdeen fan to confirm this but Ferguson left for Manchester United in the November and Ian Porterfield took over shortly afterwards so it could be the case. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Butler Says Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 It was indeed Donnie's testimonial. Man U won 3-0 and Bestie played to the crowd a lot. The player in the photo I believe is Sir Jack Campbell, who was the next Thistle player to get a testimonial, against West Brom with Robson, Regis and I think Laurie Cunningham.I was also at the Man U match and don’t think Jackie Campbell played , must have been injured. My guess the Thistle player is right back Brian Ralston. Afraid your memory’s all over the place about Jackie’s testimonial in 1980 , I was at that too and it was a Jackie Campbell Select v 1971 League Cup Winners. I have a memory that Hercules The Bear was due to “play” in that game, but to our disappointment Hercules never left a big van parked behind the goals at the Ruchill Park end. Probably would have been carnage if he had played I suppose! I can’t recall West Brom playing at Firhill, maybe you are thinking of a young Laurie Cunningham with Orient in an Anglo-Scottish Cup tie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flybhoy Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Jim Leighton has his jaw broken in the opening minutes of the 2000 Scottish Cup Final between Rangers and Aberdeen, Leighton retired that summer so this was his last action as a player and, with no substitute goalkeeper available Robbie Winters put the gloves on as Rangers cruised to a 4-0 win. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I once stood next to the great man at a charity match at the back pitch at Edinburgh Uni. His grandson was wearing a Rangers jersey. Someone asked Lawrie about it and he shrugged, smiled and said "ach, what can you do, eh?" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
