Cowden Cowboy Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 I’d loved to have seen John Dickson playing.A genius with a football - mind you he could be a prima Donna. One of his favourite tricks was to lob the ball over an opponent's head and run round him to collect the ball. He loved to dribble round the keeper and roll it into the net. It's so long ago but I can still picture him scoring from 25 yards off the bar at East End Park, a stunner in the home match v Hibs, a lob over the goalie v St Johnstone and a bicycle kick goal in the season before we won promotion when he first came into the team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzza81 Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 Not been keen on our home top in a good few years so the thought of a striped top gets me positively erect. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Send on any footage. I certainly could as learned from following Davie Ross. Sorry I don't have footage but my team mates were very quick to follow up in dead ball situations. Mind you it helped that most of the opposing defenders were wee. One other thing I learned. It took lots and lots of practise in training. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drifter Posted June 16, 2019 Author Share Posted June 16, 2019 With us plebs still awaiting news and views of the new home shirt, and despite it being the height of this year's 'Shirtgate' as opposed to last summer's 'Sockgate' (which has now been happily resolved for the coming campaign), I sent my moles out to Errea HQ in the hills of that Italia and although they were unable to dig out this season's highly-anticipated home top (due to an excessive consumption of the local vino and pizza), they did unearth some sketches for what could be next season's kit... based on the same stripey idea but with an added nod to Cowdenbeath's mining past 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blame the drunken moles, now lost forever trying to thumb a lift home on a boat from the port in Naples... following a drunkenly debauched yet futile mission in search of an image for this season's Cowden top. RIP Moles. The 2019-20 Cowdenbeath home shirt is dedicated to you (cue a bit of Elton singing Candle in the Wind) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kierkegaard Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 16 hours ago, Cowden Cowboy said: That was Billy McGann - an incredible shot stopper but one of the smallest goalies ever. Airdrie's Drew Jarvie virtually ended his Cowden career by scoring 4 goals past him in a top flight clash - more than one goal being lobbed over Billy's head. Yes, fantastic shot stopper - very agile. Wasn't he eventually replaced by a very youthful Jim McArthur, Cowboy? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbie Thomson went off injured and Sam came on and gifted a goal due to a freak bounce, that baptism fucked up his confidence for a long time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
