Drifter Posted August 21, 2018 Author Share Posted August 21, 2018 After putting a bid in on that shirt (please, no more bidders ta!), I started trying to dig into the archives to answer the question posed above. As well as watching some crackin' old footage (despite the inevitable defeats), I stumbled across one photo that made me think... Friggin hell, Big Al hasn't changed a bit! Keepin out of the mines has been good for you kid! And as for that jumper (or sweatshirt, as it was probably labelled at the time!)... well, you can tell it's a picture from the early/mid 90s! Superb photograph. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It probably would have been Dave McGovern as Al says Irvine was 4 , Archibald 5, John Wright was 7 and Gus Malone 8 in 1991/2 anyway the following season not so sure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone have the old league review books kicking about, did they not have a full list of who played in what position? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Blue Brasilion Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 What was the other keepers name we had that season? Just can't for the life of me remember it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowdenbeath Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 In 91/2 Neil Irvine started at 6 before a spell out with injury he returned at 4, the Colin Scott with 1 game but Dave McGovern was the regular in that number. In 92/3 Irvine once again started at 6 before moving to Forfar. Shug Douglas was the most regular 6 that season with Nicky Henderson and Billy Herd also appearing at 6. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just can't for the life of me remember it. Steve O'Hanlon ex Clyde. A boy called Craig Robertson also played 2 games early doors as a trialist.
