I can categorically state that Falkirk never played in maroon that season or ever!

It's more purple than maroon, makes us look more like Fiorentina instead of Falkirk. Forza I Viola!

Didn't know that he had been there, albeit it was before my time. 

He was a bit of an arrogant sod , and some of the guys weren't too keen on him. He took us down to Paisley Racecourse for a kick about and he nutmegged a few of the lads , one of them didn't take too kindly to it and he waited his chance , a bouncing white mouldmaster in the centre circle gave him an opportunity and he blasted it off JDs mush , so much so that JD briefly had the mouldy dimples on his forehead , I kid you not !

Evening Times ad from 1972. £45 is a big whack of money for that time.

£514 today according to BoE calculator £23 of which you get for local spend, which at the time would have probably covered you in hungary for food and a couple of drinks before game but not enough for full on party.

No mention of hotel, which suggests either being transferred to airport after the game and lumping it until morning or scrambling in the city overnight before being transferred to the airport.

Cracking strip. Given the manager (Jock Stein) and the black shorts this must be 1960/1961. Also we only started putting the badge on the strips in 1958 (two years before Stein joined). We reverted to white shorts in 1962 and kept them until 1968.

 

Where are you getting all of these photos from? They're tremendous.
