Former Scotland U-21 international Rikki Ferguson in case anyone was wondering. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rikki_Ferguson Very much a fixture in the Accies team until John Lambie decided he wasn't quite up to playing in the premier league and brought in Dave McKellar. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should have mentioned who it was. From memory, Lambie basically discarded most of the team that won promotion and replaced them with inferior players. I think we got a striker from Forfar (mullet & 'tache) who was particularly poor. First game of the season, in the Premier League, being outclassed by Clydebank (I think) and the first shout of "Resign Lambie" was heard at halftime. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may be wrong but are you thinking of Joe Reid here? I remember him from his time at Stirling Albion a couple years later, when manager at Annfield, John Brogan signed a rake of ex team mates and I know Joe played with Accies around then, he had a quite magnificent moustache and mullet combination back then, not sure if he played for Forfar but he certainly to me at least, sounds like the player you could be describing here?

Academically Deficient Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 It's a definite possibility, but I seem to remember the mullet being full-on German heavy metal fan length. I'll do some research and get back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Academically Deficient Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 (edited) .... that was easier than I thought. Yes, Joe Reid is correct, although looking at the team lines for that season, he wasn't the worst. 6 league appearances, 0 goals. Attendance for the game v Clydebank was 2,178. Be delighted with that now! Edited July 12, 2020 by Academically Deficient Spelling 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He actually scored 3 goals though according to my Big Boy's Book of Useless Accies Stats. I've gone and confused myself now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamthebam Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Jim Liddle went to Meadowbank. I don't think he set the heather on fire. I must have seen him play but remember very little about him. Oddly enough he went to a Belgian club after a couple of months non achievement with Thistle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Academically Deficient Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Jim Liddle. Thanks all. I'm sure he was a lovely fella and everything. But he seemed emblematic of the disappointment involved in gaining longed for promotion, only to see your dreams die with a whimper. I'm sure we've all got our own experiences. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwl123 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 OK so perhaps not as relevant but id like to add this little diity from my past. I have always been a Dundee Utd Fan despite living in the west coast in my younger years but I always remember being at the game for Celtic v Nottingham Forest in 1983/84 UEFA Cup at Celtic Park. What an atmosphere - Celtic came away from the first leg with a 0-0 draw and expectation in Glasgow was high. Must have been 66,000 at least in the ground and I was there in the away end. Remember the Tennants girls doing a trackside promo. To me the best memory was when Cloughie came on the pitch to acknowledge the Stadium crowd before KO. What a legend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably it's Killie goalie Campbell Forsyth, who a few years later became the only keeper to concede a goal scored by Peter Shilton. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I saw The Ramones at Barrolands, Joey's only audience interaction was to say the immortal words "Gee. It's great to be back here in.....Scatlaaaaand! Take it Dee Dee". He was clearly referring to this previous trip to Annfield. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
