Jaggernaut Posted December 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2017 Dundee Utd? Falkirk. April 30, 1966. 3-0 (Gallagher, Gallagher, Duncan). Crowd: 2,000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a f kincaid Posted December 5, 2017 Report Share Posted December 5, 2017 Falkirk. April 30, 1966. 3-0 (Gallagher, Gallagher, Duncan). Crowd: 2,000. Would like a Stewards' Enquiry please. Unconvinced it's McKinnon and Gray. Don't know who the outfield player is but looks like Niven in goal to me. In any case, why would Falkirk have been playing in all white?

Don't know who the outfield player is but looks like Niven in goal to me. In any case, why would Falkirk have been playing in all white? I thought the opposition player could've been Gilzean but again why would Dundee be playing in white? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaggernaut Posted December 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2017 Lady and Gentleman, The caption for this newspaper photo states: "Partick Thistle goalkeeper Jimmy Gray and hooped shirted centre-half Donnie McKinnon rush out to stop Falkirk outside-righ Johnny Graham from scoring." Remember back in those days teams used to wear their second strips almost at random.... our navy blue one, for example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaggernaut Posted December 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2017 (edited) george niven in goal don't recognise the other jags player but not donnie imho Right, my first reaction was also that it was George Niven, until I read the caption to the photo, which is from a newspaper or maybe a football book. If it's the latter, there might well be an error, but if it's from a newspaper, then it's unlikely (back then at least) that they'd have mistaken all three players as well as one of the teams! ETA: I did suggest it was maybe "slightly tricky...." Edited December 6, 2017 by Jaggernaut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Kenny Posted December 6, 2017 Report Share Posted December 6, 2017 Looks like Homes Under The Hammer's Dion Dublin for Leicester (I think), guess a mystery trialist for us. Pretty sure that is Mark De Vries for Leicester. No idea who the Jags player is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a f kincaid Posted December 6, 2017 Report Share Posted December 6, 2017 Photos from the Falkirk match on that date in the Ev Times show that Falkirk were, indeed, playing in all white - so forget my reference to Dumbarton. Still unconvinced it's McKinnon however but would have to concede that Gray was listed in the team lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady-isobel-barnett Posted December 6, 2017 Report Share Posted December 6, 2017 Pretty sure that is Mark De Vries for Leicester. No idea who the Jags player is. The Jags player is easy. It's a Mr A Trialist. Seem to mind Jimmy Gibson getting his customary pre season red card in that game. Fairly certain we didn't sign Mr Trialist.

Jaggernaut Posted December 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2017 Pretty sure there's a picture of a Keenan fight at Firhill somewhere in the depths of this thread. You can see highlights of one of his bruising fights (at Firhill) on this clip: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackpool Jags Posted December 18, 2017 Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 (edited) Falkirk. April 30, 1966. 3-0 (Gallagher, Gallagher, Duncan). Crowd: 2,000. Not disputing the date, but I'm a wee bit uncomfortable with it because of the V-neck shirts. That was my first season following the Jags and I'm fairly sure we were wearing round necked tops by then. I certainly stand to be corrected, I just have it in my mind that we last wore the V-necks in 64 or 65. Alternatively, maybe that was all that was clean yon day and we just wore it?
