Incidentally if you wish a proper Pittodrie queue try this from "a game against Celtic in the 1930s": Must be Scottish Cup QF on Saturday 9th March 1935 crowd 40,105. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spidersmad Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 (edited) 1 hour ago, Jacksgranda said: Glasgow Cup? That's a proper Thistle strip. That's also a proper Queen's Park strip! According to the book "Queen's Park Football Club (Images of Sport)" by Blair James where a black and white version of this photo turns up, it was a Glasgow Cup tie played on 22nd August 1960. Result was a 5-1 win for Thistle. In the photo Peter Buchanan is having a shot at the Thistle goal. Those of us who remember him still turning out for Queen's in the late 1960s will be surprised to see him in such a svelte shape. He did "fill out" somewhat towards the end of his football career.

ETA...Tottie Beck and George MacLean would later sign for Rangers. The fee for MacLean was a record at the time. He and Jim Forrest would be made scapegoats for the cup defeat to Berwick in 1967.

HibeeJibee Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 78yrs ago today it must have been the Sky Sports media team's grandfathers working the printshop on the Elbe as this tie involved Dundee, not United, who were touring devastated Axis territory: "the Dundee boys have done a bit of sightseeing and saw what the RAF did to Hamburg"...

Who would have thought that we had the same groundsman in the late '50s? Pity that the trees are obscuring whether my old home in Hillfoot Avenue had been built by then. Think that it went up in around 1959? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 Having done a bit of digging quite a few of our clubs seem to have gone across to occupied Germany during 1945-46 under a "Trips to the Troops" scheme including the Scotland national team. Queen's Park couldn't get back due to fog so their reserves had to fulfil their league game at home to Queen of the South and only lost 3-2 while the reserve game at Palmerston was cancelled .

If they had won they would have been in Europe the following season That was the year of the epic Montrose v. Hearts Quarter Final. Montrose were 2-1 up at Links Park before a sell out crowd when Hearts equalised with minutes to spare. The ensuing pitch invasion from the travelling hordes meant that the referee had no option other than blow the full-time whistle. In the midweek replay and Tynecastle, Montrose stormed into a two-goal lead, only to be pegged back once again. In the second replay at Muirton Park in Perth, an extra time winner saw Hearts progress. Montrose and Dumbarton were both in the First Division then and we had already beaten you lads six nil at Links Park earlier on that year. A case of what if, for both sides. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bogbrush1903 Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 This Scottish loon had a nae bad club career although, for whatever reason, never looked confortable in the dark blue. Hopefully, the big man starts to improve once he hears Scotland have pulled off a famous victory on Friday night with a winning goal from another Liverpool man. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the current National Stadium, back then only one modern stand had been built. United had already won 2-0 at Tannadice. Hegarty scored on the quarter hour mark, cancelled out by local hero Darko Pančev, who was to win the European Cup with Red Star Belgrade in 1991. The game finished 1:1 and United progressed- a very good result against a difficult opponent. The Yugoslav First League was a strong competition in the 70s and 80s. That's a cracker, the halyconic days of European football (at least for me). The Yugoslav league during those days seemed full of interest and competitiveness. Football in the Balkans have yet to recover from the break-up of Yugoslavia and maybe never will. And how ow well did the Macedonians do to qualify for European football from the Yugolsav First League with the likes of Dinamo Zagreb, Partizan Belgrade, Red Star Belgrade, Hadjuk Split, Velez Mostar, Željezničar, Radnički Niš and the likes! Similarly, in the Soviet Union, where fans of teams of the likes of Dynamo Kiev, Dinamo Tbilisi, and Ararat Yerevan used football as means to express their nationalism as the football stadium represented their only opportunity of freedon of expression, the football stadium in Yugoslavia witnessed the beginnings of the three year war in Match between Dinamo and Red Star. The Serbian warlord Arkan also recruited his bloodthirsty paramilitaries from the terraces of the Red Star Stadium. They would commit atrocities during the war bordering on genocide. I visited in 2006, and you could see the house he built with the turbofolk musician Ceca which was garishly designed like a wedding cake directly outside the stadium. I'm not sure if it still stands there to this day. Arkan would get his comeuppance in a hotel lobby in Belgrade in 2000.
