His trademark was that he often (always?) played with his sleeves rolled up. He played 5 times for Hibs at Firhill. 3 of these matches (30/8/1961, 21/10/1961 and 13/12/1961) saw Joe McBride @No 8 but it doesn't look like him. Of the remaining 2 matches it's not confirmed what the Hibs line-up was on 13/4/1963 but that match saw Jim Fleming @No 8. Not convinced it's him. Going for the remaining match on 2/11/1963. Ernie Yard @ No 8. Taking a punt the other Thistle player is Billy Hainey. Niven, Hogan, Tinney, Closs, Harvey, Cunningham, Cowan, YARD, HAINEY, Duffy, McParland. Thanks afk. The Ronnie Simpson id certainly pushes the game back to the earlier 60s. And the Hibs socks also put it between 61 and 64. Still thinking the other Jag might be McKinnon, based on the posture. Looks like he could have been up for a corner. Or Cunningham. Edited December 24, 2019 by Jaggernaut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a f kincaid Posted December 24, 2019 Report Share Posted December 24, 2019 I doubt it was Cunningham. He was all skin and bones! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At first I thought vs. Ayr United, but it looks more like Celtic. It's not Celtic (or Queen's Park as I thought), could well be Ayr United Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a f kincaid Posted December 25, 2019 Report Share Posted December 25, 2019 Can only find one game v Ayr United at Firhill between 1/5/1940 (Husband was playing) and April 1957 (too late for Jackie). The other Thistle player has no number so suggests to me it's at least before the turn of the year 1946/47 when most clubs began to follow Airdrie's lead (August 1946) and have numbered shirts.

Jaggernaut Posted January 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2020 (edited) On yer bike! This is mostly easy, but I admit there are a couple of guys whose name doesn't yet spring to mind...

a f kincaid Posted January 5, 2020 Report Share Posted January 5, 2020 This is the official opening of the Helenvale Sports Ground on 2/9/1924. Thistle played Rangers in a glamour friendly (except that since it was 1-6 the glamour was all Rangers'). The bloke in the bowler is the Duke of York (future King George VI). Presumably that's the Lord Provost there as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
