He was from Clackmannan and started his senior career with Alloa. Went on to Chelsea from Celtic. His older brother William was the captain of Alloa when he was killed in a mining accident in Kennet in 1909. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appears to be 1980, but don't know if it's the game on 12th April or the 29th November one. That’s my pics 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember your nom de plume from that, and I quite deliberately left the watermarks on to reference the source. The one of the TV camera was back-to-front, and I had to flip it the right way round, hence why the watermark is now back-to-front. See earlier in the thread for your Arsenal game pictures also. I've got the 1982 new year game with Morton up my sleeve as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawkeye the Gnu Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 On 21/06/2023 at 23:07, Dundee Hibernian said: That’s an incredible photo. One guy standing with his hand on his hip as if he cares not a jot what’s going on around him. I’m not sure what his teammate’s doing but it’s definitely not challenging for the ball, while the Celtic player is trying a ballet move. would have been a great photo for Spot The Ball. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're only offside when the Ref/Linesperson/VAR(these days) say you are. Any Centre Forward who isn't caught Offside two or three times in a match simply isn't doing his/her job. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eednud Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 (edited) Somebody asked for advertising so here is one that’s been posted before. It’s Tannadice Park in April 1960 and just happens to be Dundee United playing Berwick Rangers in the foreground. United won 1-0 in front of 16,900 to win promotion to the top division for the first time since 1931/32.

I looked it up as I was intrigued: Abbots Choice was originally marketed as McEwan's Whisky, the Abbot's Choice. Spoiler In this case it wasn't the more famous brewers but John McEwan, a company based in Elgin and Leith. The Abbot's Choice brand was promoted by ceramic figures of an Abbot. You took the Abbot's head off and poured the whisky 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
