Jordanhill Jag Posted July 7, 2019 Report Share Posted July 7, 2019 (edited) Great Story - we forget how few black people there were in Glasgow and how hard it was it reminds me of my School Friend - Black - Afro - playing for Airdrie in the mid 70s - not easy giving Racism was on TV on things like Love Thy Neighbour I also remember the NF leaflets getting handed out at Ibrox and the IRA newspaper getting sold outside Parkhead Edited July 7, 2019 by Jordanhill Jag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jag71 Posted July 8, 2019 Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 Jim (jnr) was a family friend through my Dad. Larger than life character and a lovely family. I did also meet Jim (Snr) at a game at Firhill, must have been late 60s/ early 70s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlgarveJag Posted July 8, 2019 Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 Thanks Javeajag, very interesting read. And Stuthejag, what an archive you have! Ma ba' McKenny and the Hansen brothers alongside the best goalie in Britain, you have to love the man. Thanks for sharing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
