Dundee Hibernian Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 James Bartram ('Battering Ram') was a burly big lad from South Shields who had a reputation for putting the goalie into the net with the ball, seemingly allowed in 1934. Scored 76 goals in 81 matches for Falkirk, including six in one game at Brockville against Ayr United. Wonder if he was related to Sam Bartram, born three years apart and from the same area? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim McLean was a fiery character, he allegedly punched a BBC reporter during an interview, but here he seems capable of taking much more close up provocation than poor old Neil without responding. There was no 'allegedly' about it 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy was Sam’s older brother mate. Their dad was a footballer of some repute too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think one of English FA Cup finals was won as a consequence of a centre forward barging the goalkeeper into the net when he was holding the ball. Nat Lofthouse perhaps (GNU Linux will look up wiki to tell us who) Edited November 2, 2018 by paul wright scores 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very hard to find pics of that configuration as it only lasted 3 years - I went to it like that for a Scottish Cup game. Drew 1-1, with both goals scored in injury time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it’s not cool in the era of ‘Hipster’ football fans but when he was at Liverpool and Sampdoria I think Souness was amongst the finest midfield players in Europe. His record at club level during that period speaks for itself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
