Pretty sure that was taken before a home game against Hamilton in April, which we won 3-0. Two away wins at St. Johnstone and Stirling followed and we were top. A photo from the same shoot was in the programme the night we beat Airdrie to clinch promotion with the headline "One game from glory..." Jimmy Miller scoring our third goal against Accies. Edit - it's actually Bobby Russell. Edited June 26, 2023 by AyrshireTon 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bogbrush1903 Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 (edited) Craig Brown oversees (reluctantly by the looks of it) the transfer of one of his young Clyde players to Aberdeen in 1977, wearing what seems to be a jazzy pair of trews but we only catch a tantalising glimpse of the strides Hopefully that is faux fur that Archibald's squeeze (or is it Broon's!) is wearing...

And here's the ex Motherwell, Morton and Aberdeen man Millar with his Motherwell assistant manager Craig Brown just before the latter departs to be his own man at Clyde... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good photo. Unfortunately I've just realised that the scorer in my pic is Bobby Russell, not Jimmy Miller. Getting my perms mixed up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piquet Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 Isn't Jock Brown, the Commentator, Craig's brother? It always amused me when watching Scotland v England on BBC or ITV, that there was a common introduction but once the match started, there were different commentators. In Ireland, (Ulster Television, or BBC Northern Ireland) we had Brian Moore or David Coleman for some strange reason. Did they think we'd support England? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bogbrush1903 Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 (edited) McNeill checks for his lighter after Celtic physio Bob Rooney forgets his own... EDIT: Actually it looks like McNeill has a roll-up in his hand! So it's a beared man (Peter Latchford), someone on a chair (Ronnie Glavin?),Bobby Lennox, Neil Mochan, Bob Rooney, Billy McNeill, John Clark, Jimmy Steele (?), then on the good side, someone maybe Pat Stanton (although it looks more like Willie Garner) and then Fergie... Can anyone fill in the blanks? Edited June 27, 2023 by Bogbrush1903 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bogbrush1903 Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 (edited) Meanwhile Denis enjoys a beer in a rather magnificent windcheater/kagool time garment that I would pay a healthy wedge for if I could find one... I'd also purchase the dark blue and red scarf with presumably SCOTLAND THE BRAVE on it, the Scotland bucket hat and the tartan pork pie hat Edited June 27, 2023 by Bogbrush1903 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever Archie Macpherson's qualities may be, one thing's for sure, commentating on football matches isn't one of them. Montford was slightly better but nothing matched a David Coleman commentary....."Jordan....one-nil !" .... "And Clemence day is complete" .......
