stuthejag Posted November 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 Great photo, especially the professionally prepared placard. Â Are you looking for names? Those are almost all easy (not sure about the one in the skirt). Â Yeah got this so far. Back Row: Davie McParland (Manager), John Hansen, ?, Denis McQuade, ?,?, Alex Rae, ?, Alan Rough, ?, Andy Anderson Front Row: ?, Ronnie Glavin, ?, ?

Jaggernaut Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 (edited) Yeah got this so far. Back Row: Davie McParland (Manager),Donnie McKinnon, John Hansen, ?, Denis McQuade, Bobby Gray-the-elder,?, Alex Rae, Tommy Rae, Alan Rough, Charlie Smith, Andy Anderson Front Row: Bobby Lawrie, Ronnie Glavin, Hugh Strachan, ? Â Those are pretty much definites. The others I'm not sure about. There must have been a second goalie, so Iain Dick might have been there. The last one in the front row reminds me of Brian Ralston. Â Could third from left, back row be Jimmy Mullin?.... Nah, I think it's Alex Forsyth! Edited November 1, 2013 by Jaggernaut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winter of '63 Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 How about this picture on the Jags return from the far east tour of 1972. Â I reckon:- Â Donnie MacKinnon, John Hansen,Jim Docherty, Denis McQuade, Bobby Gray Senior, Archie Lochrie, Alex Rae, Tommy Rae, Alan Rough, Charlie Smith, Andy Anderson. Â Bobby Lawrie, Ronnie Glavin, Hugh Strachan, Brian Ralston. Â Don't know the hot girl at the front - she was way too old for me back then 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winter of '63 Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 Right old-timers need help naming the players in this pic from season 1971-72 when our reserves won the 2nd XI Cup. Â Donnie McKinnon (top off) ? and Jackie Husband so far.. Â Not sure I like the old-timers tag - I'm still young at heart! I was a schoolboy anorak about anything to do with Thistle in 1971 though so I think:- Â Tommy Rae, Charlie Smith, Ian Dick, Bobby Gray Junior, Donnie MacKinnon, Brian Ralston, Jackie Campbell, Archie Lochrie(?), Donnie McDowall, John Gibson, Bobby Houston, Â Jackie Husband(Sitting), Bobby Gray Senior, Jimmy Mullin, Ian Reid, Willie Johnstone, Jim Docherty, - no idea who the guy on the far right on the front row is. Â Is there a major prize for this...like a copy of the Jags Mag? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â No idea who the Flight Squadron Leader at the front right is. Same gear as Jackie Husband, so maybe a coach or physio? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaggernaut Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 Interesting Pen-Pics from 1929. Â It would be great if players were described in that style in today's programmes! Â Some great turns of phrase: Â "dour and very effective"; "tackles judiciously" Â "Should develop into a top-notcher." Â "the heftiest man in the eleven"; "Uses his cranium" Â "took the Firhill shilling" Â "has the bad habit of shooting wildly" Â Â All brilliant! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuthejag Posted November 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 Anybody name this team group from 1929 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briogadh Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 Anybody name this team group from 1929 ? Well before everybody's time I think. But this team reached the Cup Final that season and took it to a replay, so they must have been a good outfit. The Dental Cup Final also springs to mind, when Alec Hair scored 5 against Rangers, a feat unequalled by any Scottish player, as far as I know. Can anyone confirm ?

Jaggernaut Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 Hmm..., my memory ain't what it used to be, but at a guess: Bobby Grove, 6th player from left, then Johnny Ballantyne, sixth back from Grove. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
