Eednud Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 The pillars coming down in front of the enclosure wall, flat on the sides and latticed on the front/back, plus the stripy rear wall of the enclosure, all suggest Firhill. If it's not, it was built on the same model. Alloa had a strip like that 1960-62, but with white shorts - is there any chance Thistle would've worn an away top at home due to the clash? Anyway, the badge looks wrong.If it was a Scottish Cup tie both sides used their change kit if there was a colour clash back then. League and League Cup the home team changed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killiejim Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Do we know this is a Scottish game? Chap with back turned crouching could be in Man Utd strip c1970. Partick Thistle v Dumbarton ,2nd September 1972. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Chief Toffee Teeth Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Hear what you're saying. Football boots seem wrong for late 50s/early 60s British teams. And shorts seem too short. Mid 60s? By the way, whoever it is, it's not Motherwell. Scotland 1962... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moses Supposes Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 It seems the photo shows a Thistle player called John Flanagan (as suggested by 7-2) playing at Firhill in 1967. Thistle's change strip in the 1960s was navy blue. So, why this outfit? Who is the opposition? Intriguing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7-2 Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Saints On This Day @SaintsOTD Despite being involved in a car crash, the referee makes it to Muirton Park in time for kick-off on this day in 1952. St Johnstone beat Alloa 3-0. Flipping refs. Always making it all about them. Nothing ever changes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pet Jeden Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 On 12/25/2018 at 09:28, Flybhoy said: Saw this on Football Memories facebook page, looks like Firhill or possibly Brockville to me, can any older posters confirm teams and maybe even players? The bands on the chest of the strip suggest late sixties. The colours ( in b&w ) suggest Motherwell,Dumbarton or even Leeds or Bradford, The backside of the defender suggests John Greig (but the socks are wrong) The badge looks like a a rabbit with it's face blown away - suggests the St Johnstone farmers. But given that the combined football brains of P&B ( I know) can't identify which clubs these two are - could it just be not in Scotland ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The roof on the SRE has been there since I started going, as has the seggie fence. Perhaps someone of an earlier vintage can add some more info, but I think the roof went on the SRE in the early seventies. The segregation fence was erected during the 80/81 season, following trouble at half time during the League Cup Semi Final First Leg v Dundee. I think it might have been in place for a league match v Hibs a few weeks later. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
