Baird took the field in the 19th minute and Saints went on to win 3-0 I didn't realise Saints were so far ahead of the times by having celeb crowd spotting pics and flying players to games by private aircraft. I feel a bit sorry for Whitelaw. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eednud Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 More from a tour Down Under. May/June 1959. Hearts had just finished 2nd in the league after lifting the title in 57/58 and would win at again in 59/60. They played 15 games winning 14 and drawing the other scoring 110 goals and conceding 13. This covers 2 games in Adelaide, the first on 6 June at Adelaide Oval where they defeated Australia 6-0, the following day they beat Victoria 7-1 in Melbourne then back in Adelaide 3 days later to defeat South Australia 8-0. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saints did this quite regularly with Baird – they flew him down for a League Cup game against Motherwell a couple of weeks before, when presumably he was in enough time to hold the pilot's hand and pose for a photo. (Baird, incidentally, was the uncle of Sally Magnusson). Edited September 29, 2018 by Mr Heliums 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine Steve's face if Tommy suggested signing a player we needed to fly to games! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did he have a good job outside football or such? Imagine Steve's face if Tommy suggested signing a player we needed to fly to games! Actually, looking into it, it seems it was a short-term exercise. James Clark, a Saints supporter and hobbyist pilot would fly to Aberdeen to pick Baird up, as he worked as a PE teacher in Aberdeen and only finished school at 4pm. For the League Cup quarter-final against Motherwell, Clark met Baird at Dyce Airport at 4.15pm and they flew to Scone in a Miles Messenger to arrive after 5pm. From there they took a taxi to Muirton Park. Kick-off for the evening game was 6pm, so even with favourable weather on the way down it was a close thing. It went a bit wrong for the midweek game against Arbroath a couple of weeks later, when weather conditions delayed the flight and Baird was very late for the game. Sadly, I think this spelled the end of the air taxi service. Edited September 29, 2018 by Mr Heliums 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finishing work at 4 in Aberdeen and playing in Perth at 6 isn't exactly needing an overnight stay in a luxury hotel when travelling from Glasgow to Forfar for a game. Many thanks for that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
