Pretty sure it's just a reproduction, the large Dumbarton crest in the background is modern, quite a nice thing though for a couple of quid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Ally McLeod played when he was about 60 but it was a reserve game. Quite an illustrious former player they had as manager when they folded.

Saints were 7-0 up and the 67 year old Ally came on as a sub. Finished 7-1. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All those team sheets are modern productions. (There were ones for Thirds' cup winning game back in the 1900s, and for their defeat by Rangers, 1936?) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So " hard " he picked on Billy Stark 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it’s the away end, could’ve been one of the smaller teams, possibly Clydebank, Morton etc Whi were in top league back then. There was also high unemployment and poor football in Glasgow around that time, Celtic park regularly had crowds around 20-25,000 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Replica tops were hard to come by, and were only worn by kids really. Scarves were more common, but people used to get dressed up to go to the football. Best gear, shirt and tie sometimes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sept 68 is the given date: looks a sunny late Summer's day, maybe fans were feeling the heat. Supporters didn't commonly, from my recall, wear replica tops until the middle 'seventies, although the odd person here and there would appear in a club top earlier. And I think by '68 the shirt and tie had all but disappeared on the terraces. What I do mind about scarves of that time is they were often made of Terylene, with printed badges, although the better quality versions were embroidered. I wish I hadn't lost mine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok The away end was split down the middle, in my recall at the time of your photo. I'm thinking I see the fence dividing. People seemed to always want to stand in lines, as illustrated, at the barriers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Umbro diamonds on the sleeve top that Scotland wore from 76 was the first of the mass produced replica shirts if I recall correctly. As DH says you did see the odd one here and there, I remember a dwarf in a Rangers top trying to attack the ref at Dens around 75 after Colin Stein was ordered off. Some of the worst scenes I've ever witnessed at a match that day 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
