Carl Fredrickson Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Used to get badges made at the wee sports shop on Gorgie Road. I think it was Topsports. It was a tiny wee shop and rammed on match days (i reckon 6 folk would have meant it was packed) Being lifted over the turnstile by my older brother (he stopped this after trying it at Love Street in the late 70s when i was getting heavier and he hurt his back. I think we lost 4-0) The father and son gate at the Wheatfield entrance with kids hanging about to get any adult to go in with them to save money.

Debut 4 Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Topsport was effectively the Hearts shop in those days. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk Loved Topsport. I remember one year in the 80s it opened on Boxing Day and I couldn't wait to get on the bus from the Calders and spend my Xmas money on some new Hearts gear... Seemed like a mission then though, hardly any traffic, streets quiet and you had to make sure you didn't miss the hourly bus! The good old days..

Hearts007 Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Here's a weird thing watched a movie last night called "Awaydays" (2009) about football hooliganism set in the 1970"s in England and yet in one scene the lead actor appears to have Willie Gibson and Jim Jeffries on his mirror. Found the 2 stickers sure there the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister T Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Favourite food Prawn cocktail and Steak & Chips every week on the Player Profile I remember getting a programme at ibrox and dave cooper's favourite colour was blue and the person he most wanted to meet was the queen. I never bought a celtic one but I assume Paul mcstay's was pink and val doonican. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's when you were modelling yourself on Mighty Mouse!!! I had two x Hearts football yearbook and diary from the early 1990's which I recently ditched. Dearly wish I hadn't written in them, although I reminded myself how much I hated David Syme and Rangers!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Findlay Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 I had quite a few despite my dad not having a car. The 1970 World Cup was the first to have a panel of 'experts'. Derek Dougan, Bob McNab..............can't remember the others. On ITV it was Pat Crerand and Malcolm Alison. Crerand was asked how do you spell Pele. His reply GOD.

They would have been lethal together. Drew Jarvie was one of the most under rated players in Scottish football imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmfc_liam06 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 It has maybe been mentioned as I've not read the whole thread but did anyone used to do the football management by mail thing, I think it used to be run or advertised in the Match magazine. They would send you out a big pack and you would send your team back via mail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
