Salvo Montalbano Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Watching a random episode of The Big Match Revisited. Apropos of very little, Brian Moore (whose head looks uncannily like the London Paladium) pulls out Wattie White's top and cap from the 1908 game vs England. A 1-1 draw.The same episode features Brighton (Mullery) v Palace (Venables) in front of 27,000 at the Goldstone; Leeds v Man Utd; George Best being sent off for Fulham (Moore; Marsh) at The Dell. A goalie having to change his top for the heinous crime of the top not being plain. It's dizzying. I always thought the line was "looks like London Planetarium". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulbrucerick Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 The recent Hampden chat got me thinking of my favourite Scotland game. These two are probably tied. Both games at the old terraced Hampden too. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew that it had gone. Went to a fair few parties in the function suite, which was the in place to have a party if you stayed in the vicinity at the time. I found the Shand to be fine to drink in, unlike The Rock along the road which scared the shit out of me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mo Johnstone scoring the first in the 2-0 win v FranceI was quite young at the time of that game and established the fact in my mind that France = shite at football. I was incredulous when they won in '98. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yes, they did lose their way for a few years after that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Programmes are from around 1974-76 so he was still with Arsenal/Derby then. His ill fated day oot to Tannadice came much later 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
