The corner advert on a raised terrace wall at the Shed (west) end is still there, the one at the other is gone: While I'm here, this is the Jerry Kerr Stand (Main Stand when it opened in 1962) early in the construction stage: In 1992, the George Fox Stand was built: Edited November 14, 2023 by Dundee Hibernian 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyrshireTon Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 Ian MacDonald is held aloft by Scott McArthur after he had put Morton 3-1 up at Love Street on 14th Nov 1992. Alex Mathie and Rowan Alexander are the other two Morton players. McArthur then fell over and MacDonald lost a tooth in there somewhere. Morton won 3-2 with David Elliot scoring a peach before David Wylie saved Chic Charnley's late penalty. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't witness myself but he was apparently pretty shite with us and more interested in a bevvy than playing. Earned the nickname Alky from the Firhill Faithful. Went on to have a great stint with Raith, so not sure what went wrong at Firhill, apart from us being generally pish in the mid 80s.

Dundee Hibernian Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 Was there a tradition throughout Scotland of charity games involving various professions competing against each other? From 1979, Ministers v Butchers, at Tannadice. I recall the Clergy v Police was an annual fixture at Stenhousemuir in the '60s into the '70s. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We moved to Dundee in 1966 and went to these charity matches every year. Can’t really remember if it was always Ministers v Butchers, but I seem to remember they always seemed to be held at Tannadice, although that may be bollocks. This match in 1979 must have been one of the last to be held. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From 1979, Ministers v Butchers, at Tannadice. I recall the Clergy v Police was an annual fixture at Stenhousemuir in the '60s into the '70s. Brilliant stuff. There was a certainly a clergy game at Stark's Park in Kirkcaldy during 1950s as my grandfather (a session clerk presumably making up the numbers) could recall playing in it. I think he said their goalkeeper was minister of Kirkcaldy Abbotshall and played in top hat & tails sporting umbrella and briefcase. Palmerston in Dumfries definitely also staged Clergy v Police as there is a programme from 1935: Clergy team (church & denomination from my own research with couple missing) was: Melrose, John Dumfries Greyfriars Borrowman Rock, William Kirkpatrick Irongray Haddow, James Murray Buittle & Kirkennan Snow Dollar Smellie, John Laidlaw Annan Erskine Breen, Lawrence Dumfries St Andrews (RC) Cockburn, Harold Andrew Dumfries St Michaels Scanlon, Edward Annan (RC) Fairlie, Robert Paul Dumfries St Marys 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
