Flybhoy Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 (edited) John Brown in his pre 'Bomber' days when he was actually a goalscoring midfielder for Dundee before going to Ibrox a few years later, seeing out the second half of his career booting opponents and screaming thinly veiled sectarian insults at youth team members and Italian team mates. A 2-2 draw at Dens Park against Aberdeen from March 1986. Jim Duffy and Vince Mennie join in the celebrations, the 'Derry' in the background is virtually identical and unchanged to this day, much like the main stand.

Eednud Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 (edited) Dens Park on this day in 1914. Arbroath 1 Dundee Hibs 1 in the Forfarshire Cup Final. 8,000 in attendance, a then Forfarshire Cup Final record. A week later the record was broken as 9 or 10,000 turned up at Dens to see Arbroath win the replay 2-1. https://www.arbroatharchive.co.uk/matchdetails.php?id=3198 https://www.arabarchive.co.uk/matchdetails.php?id=3646 https://www.arbroatharchive.co.uk/matchdetails.php?id=3199 https://www.arabarchive.co.uk/matchdetails.php?id=3647 Edited March 21 by Eednud 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dundee Hibernian Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Trio of pre war stars of the Scottish game, Archie Coats having been a prolific scorer for Dundee netting more than a goal a game over a long career. Alex McSpadyn was also a consistent player for over a decade with Thistle, and made a few appearances following the 1945 conclusion of the war. James McInnes appears to have been a left half, and turned out for Newcastle during the war years. All three players had their careers truncated by military service. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molotov Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 (edited) Not sure if this is appropriate but it gives an insight into what was happening in Scottish football involving Celtic and Rangers in 1980 with footage that shows the Govan stand being built. Some interesting comments made by a reporter that certain clubs make money off the back of this hatred. Of course these two clubs and Scottish football have made massive strides in eliminating the sectarian divide in the last 44 years.

Similar to the Main Stand and the 'Derry', Jim Duffy looks virtually identical and unchanged to this day. Brown is an utter w@nk but he was a good player for Dundee until he decided to play the hard man at the deid club. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That home kit is one of my favourites. The dark blue, white shorts and red socks combo is just perfect imho. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GNU_Linux Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 The first ever Scottish Cup final took place today in 1874 with Queens Park beating Clydesdale 2-0 at the original Hampden Park. Clydesdale were a team active 1872-1881 attached to the cricket club of the same name from the Pollokshields area. There was another unrelated side with the same name from Rutherglen active 1883-1892. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranaldo Bairn Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 (edited) Is that (goalkeeper) Andy Rhodes modelling the St Johnstone strip? Also, RIP Forbes Johnstone. Gone far far too young. Edited March 21 by Ranaldo Bairn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It speaks of "touching behind" (fnarr fnarr) but also Stirling winning by a goal. Association football never still had touching down at this stage did it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingjoey Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 With Aberdeen, Celtic and Rangers all at home, interesting to see the biggest gate in the league that day in 1982. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until the turn of the century football and rugby results are often intermixed in the press. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
