sandy Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 Lots of permutations possible. But I'd include Charnley & Erskine in any of my teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knightswood Jag Posted August 30, 2017 Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 That can easily be updated. Tuffey?! Cerny Archibald Lindsay Paterson RB Barton Rowson Erskine Harkins Hardie Doolan Should have never left Hardie out first time round. Bannigan misses out to Rowson. Struggling for right back, very tempted to put Elliott there but think O'Donnell and Lilley should maybe be ahead. Definitely O'Donnell for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady-isobel-barnett Posted August 30, 2017 Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 Definitely O'Donnell for me Can you mind seeing Lilley play, KJ? My own view would be SOD would be my choice if you're team was set out with attacking full backs. If you wanted an orthodox right back Lilley would be preferable. One thing with Lilley tho' was he was never far away from a red card back then. Later he became master of "gettin' away with it". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LIB, how did this orthodox non-attacking full back find himself arriving at the far post to slot in Ricky Waddell's cross to score a rare winner at Pittodrie?

Winter of '63 Posted August 30, 2017 Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 I would only make one change to my selection from 2011 - I commented then that right back had not been our strongest position and went for Davie McKinnon. I would now have Stephen O'Donnell at right back. If Dumbuya could stay fit, he would be a contender. I would also give a mention to Higgy - for a spell he was sensational but I already have Donald Park & Chic Charnley in my side so the Bampot Quota is filled.

partickthedog Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 Good point. Last time I saw us win there. Amazingly, Thistle almost won 3 times in the league at Pittodrie that season, although it may surprise some to realise that Aberdeen were then a bottom 6 outfit. First time round David Lilley arrived at the far post as above to notch the only goal of the game. Second time round, same result, as the King of Spain split the defence to send Toastie through. The fixtures committee conspired to give us a 3rd chance and incredibly we took the lead once more. I cannot recall the score with certainty but think it might have been Toastie Burns again. Sadly Kenny Arthur went walkabout as mentioned in the recent Scott Fox thread to gift an equaliser and we ended up losing 2-1. The only consolation was that results elsewhere that day meant that we had definitely survived in the Premier League for one more season.

jagfaelivi Posted September 1, 2017 Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 I see JAG and one other have given Jim Duffy a mention and I should think so. I remember him as a one man defence with his bald heid under everything that came remotely near our goal. Great player with a massive heart. My memory of Sandy Brown was similar to what has already been documented - would have run through a brick wall for you. And Jacky Campbell just went on and on for years and always dependable. Why did I shut my eyes every time the opposition put in a cross -Alan Rough just stood and watched and principally the reason he didn't get a gig down south. Nicky Walker for me. Remember with great fondness, too, the season Albert Craig scored all the goals from midfield for us when there were so many good and much lauded midfielders in Scotland failing to match his productivity. And Chico has been special over the years and the opposition set out to light his blue(should that be "green" ?) touch paper. Remember the time at Ayr that in the first half hour he got kicked cruelly by different players, then got sent off as he lost the rag at getting no protection . But some of those fifty yard diagonal balls and that cheeky smile. Worth the admission alone at that time. Arthur Duncan caused a lot of heartache to opposition before moving cross country to Hibs. What a pace he had. I liked Jim Melrose too. Just some happy memories and, not a team, I know!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fearchar Posted September 4, 2017 Report Share Posted September 4, 2017 Odd to see that, although he may be outside the memory of most of us here, the late "Firhill Flyer", Johnny MacKenzie, isn't included in any of these teams. According to all reports I've ever seen on him, he was one of the Jags' outstanding players from any era. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
