HibeeJibee Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 Remember that time the great Stanley Matthews played for Clyde? Me neither... but seems he did 70yrs ago v Everton at Celtic Park in Belfast, in fundraiser for the De la Salle Boys Orphanage. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Molotov Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 One legend alongside George Best. RIP Frank/Zico/Luther. This was Best’s first game for Hibs. He had played before for Fulham against Saints in the Anglo Scottish Cup. I don’t believe Best ever won a game at Love St. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In his 2nd appearance for Hibs he didn't. Anyway, RIP Zico. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long time lurker on this thread, and despite very rarely posting on here it formed part of my initial 'wouldn't it be good if there was more Arbroath related history stuff online' thinking a couple of years ago. This resulted in me taking things slightly too far, as I have a tendancy to do, and creating The Arbroath Archive. Most of the below is a copy and paste from press stuff a couple of weeks ago, because I'm a lazy b*****d and it's easier this way The archive is now fully live and can be found here; Arbroath Archive. Below gives a rough idea of what we've got on there: · A record of every game we've played from 1878 until present day, with over 6400 total games in total, with game date (teams, subs, scorers, ref etc) where known, and highlights for modern day games · A match report for every almost every game with thousands of old reports from the Arbroath Herald & Arbroath Guide and dozens of other sources, as well as fan reports from the old arbroathfc.org.uk website for our games in the 90s and early 00s · A profile for every player who has played for the club containing their full playing record for the club as well as player info, a picture where we have it and a biography · Our all-time player appearance records, goalscorer records and clean sheet records · Hundreds of pictures, programme covers, a managerial timeline, hat trick heroes and lots more! As well as the site itself, we will be looking to keep our social media pages fairly active with regular posts on a whole host of things, such as 'Guess the Player', 'On This Day', 'Did You Know?' etc. as well as hopefully further articles/ interviews in the future. Facebook Twitter On the Facebook/ Twitter pages I try to post twice a day; an 'On This Day' and something older/ different like the following.... it's this content that seems like it'd be of more interest to posters in this thread Our manager Albert Henderson went to watch Alex Ferguson, then a part timer at St Johnstone, play in December 1963... unfortunately he'd been promoted to the first team that day and promptly scored a hat trick at Ibrox.... safe to say any sort of move was scuppered In 1950, one of our players was fined for playing football in the street.... Gayfield in 1950 Shooting practice in January 1939. The committee in April 1935. Three of our fans in 1965. Another copy and paste job below due to the aforementioned lazyness George Best at Gayfield! One of the things we've been lucky to get our hands on is previously unseen highlights from the Arbroath v Arbroath Vics match played in August 1982 to mark the junior clubs centenary. The game, which was won 4-3 by the Vics with Best scoring two penalties, was captured on a VHS Camcorder from the Gayfield tunnel and the footage had been in the loft of former Arbroath Vics committee member Ed Collier for the past few decades. After Ed's passing last year his son, also named Ed, found the footage and gave us a copy. The highlights are 20 minutes long with Best being prominent throughout. He wasn't the only 'well kent' face on display that day however, with both teams featuring plenty of players who still have lots of connections to the club and town of Arbroath itself. Due to one of our ex players being an absolute top man and going out of his way to help with things, we now have some further match footage on our Youtube page St Mirren, Rangers, Kilmarnock, Berwick Rangers, Aberdeen and Dundee featured! I've seen the Dundee footage previously - but the other four are completely new to me I'm hoping to unearth some more footage from the STV archives and a few other places - if anyone has any ideas/ tips/ contacts for this please let me know 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
