craigkillie Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 1 hour ago, Monkey Tennis said: What was the story of Celtic's season that saw them in such trouble? I think they just generally weren't very good after the war. The previous season they had finished 7th (out of 16), but had been in the bottom half until they picked up 7 wins and 2 draws in the last 9 games of the season. In fact, their run of finishes in the seven seasons after WWII was 7, 12, 6, 5, 7, 9, 8. Jimmy McGrory stayed in the job and won the league the following season, but then kept the job until the mid 60s despite never winning it again. At that point Stein came in and very quickly rebuilt them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn't even manage that many top 3 finishes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nightfly Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 That sounds quite late in the day for Sammy Nelson. Had he hit hard times or something? His testimonal was actually in 1980. This was David O'Leary's match. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone spot the player who would go on to become a very famous manager? You want to know how hard players were in them brutal days? Often they would chop a man in half then wrestle with his legless torso - just for a laugh. That's how hard they used to be!

Dundee Hibernian Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 140 year old team picture: sitting to the left of the goalkeeper, the lad looks like a giant. Or a midget if he's standing. I believe it's a Falkirk team group from that era. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
