a f kincaid Posted October 1, 2019 Report Share Posted October 1, 2019 Not Yard. It's Jim Conway. While we're on the subject... does anyone know why it was "traditional" for team photographs to be set up left to right as back row 2, 3, keeper, 4, 5 and 6 then front row 7-11? Perversely, this one is 3 then 2! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Semi Nurainen Posted October 1, 2019 Report Share Posted October 1, 2019 I don't know the answer, but I did not George Muir (does he not hold a club record for playing every game in a season - before subs of course) was before Jackie Campbell. Since we're being perverse, and talking about 2-3-5 formations, I wish to enter the extremely controversial opinion that it was never 2-3-5. Ever. The Centre Half (as was) was never a half back (i.e., not a defensive midfielder like the right and left half) but always a full back sitting behind the half back line, controlling/defending the centre of the penalty box. It was therefor more like 3-2-5, or even 3-4-3 if you considered the wing halves and inside forwards to be two elements of the midfield (defensive and attacking respectively); if you wanted to be really pedantic (ok, I will then), it was 3-2-2-3 with the wingers and centre forward as out and out attackers. But as Brian Clough famously said, don't fill their heads with complicated tactics and instructions! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(You've done this one before Jaggernaut!) I don't like to contradict you AFK, but I don't believe Harold Davis played in the same team as Billy Richie. Looking at the archive, Davis played the one season 1964/65, but Billy Richie did not joint Thistle until 1967. DmcP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a f kincaid Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 Don't hesitate to contradict me ARu! You're quite right. It is McParland. 23 Nov 1968. 0-4 in the league. Ritchie, Campbell, McLindon, McParland, Gray, Hansen (J), Cunningham, Flanagan, Divers, Bone, Duncan. (Cumming). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARu-Strathbungo Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 It is Denis Tueart, and from the cutting I have, he is scoring the 4th MC goal in this photo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a f kincaid Posted October 5, 2019 Report Share Posted October 5, 2019 (edited) Can only find 1 game when Park played with the No 8 shirt against Celtic at Firhill so looks line 23/9/1978 in a 2-3 defeat in the league. Dougie Somner scoring with a penalty to make it 2-1 after Melrose had equalised. A soft penalty after h-t made it 2-2 then the winner came 2 minutes later. Park hit the post. Somner had a goal disallowed and Celtic defended desperately to see the game out. Changed Days! L-R Melrose, Somner, Burns, Latchford, Houston, Park Lynch(?). Rough, MacKinnon, Whittaker, Campbell, Marr, Gibson, Houston, Park, SOMNER, MELROSE, Love.
