Gerry Baker scoring for St Mirren v Man City at Love Street.  Keeper is Bert Trautmann.

Paisley Charity Cup in 1960 which St Mirren lost 3-4... USA scoring past West Germany, still a fairly exotic concept then: albeit both were effectively British citizens. Denis Law - who scored brace - and Jackie Plenderleith also featured for City.

Over at Tynecastle the Edinburgh XI were dispatching Chelsea by 4-3 in Allison Trophy, with Gerry's brother Joe - by then of course an England international - on the scoresheet.

Either match and indeed narrow score be inconceivable today... who'd envisage both visitors being bought by wealthy foreigners 40yrs later.

Worth adding Kilmarnock were off losing International Soccer League Final in New York by 2-0 to Bangu; while the inaugural Anglo-Franco-Scottish Friendship Cup ties were also played:

Lens 0-4 Clyde
Sedan 3-0 Celtic
Toulouse 1-2 Motherwell
Valenciennes 1-0 Dundee

I expect badge induced nipple rub was rife that season.

Went to school in Loanhead with Jim Steele's wee brother, and delivered his paper as well... I could swear Ally Donaldson was from out our way as well but it just says Edinburgh on his Wiki.

Caley v Rangers, Scottish Cup,  1984. Billy Urquhart, Bobby Williamson, Davie Cooper, Bob Summers, Hamish MacDonald, Ian Redford. This is probably Williamson scoring no 4.

Zoltan Varga a great sight in Scottish football in early 1970's. Highly skilful player who scored great goals. Ended up Johan Cruyff's replacement at Ajax 1973.

Saw him play at Pittodrie v Celtic. He was absolutely fantastic,  scored both Aberdeen goals in a 2-3 defeat. Pretty sure Dalglish scored the winner. Still scarred with the image of a young girl getting carried out of the terracing with a bread knife sticking out of her head.  Oh, happy days 😱
