leginten Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Pretty sure Donald Ford excelled in those quizzes. Can't remember who else was in the Hearts team, though. A present-day equivalent might not be such a good idea... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lost in space Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 I think Alan Anderson was also decent on this. Cant remember if the other player was Jim Cruickshank (who was only able to answer questions on horse racing) or Willie Wallace. I think the supporter was Gordon Jackson - the actor.

ming the merciless Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Hearts came in at the last minute, to replace a team that was a no show (Arsenal mibbe?). Got to the final but lost. Also can't remember who we lost or who was in the team apart from Donald (legend) Ford. Good show though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jambovambo Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Quizmaster : "Who was George Mackay Brown ?" Buzz Jim Cruikshank : "Racing correspondent for the Daily Record ?" Fact Also ...

JamboAl Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Can anyone remember a programme around 76/77/78 when Hearts were on a football skills programme I think it was at Ashton gate bristol,also any memory of our quizball experiences Settle a debate at work Cheers I vaguely remember a quiz called "Up for the Cup" which we won. At the time we had some reasonably erudite players (Billy Higgins was one) and they were supplemented by the actor Tom Fleming. Is that what you're thinking about or is it something different?

Francis Albert Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Curious ... that link names Willie Wallace as the "racing correspondent" perpetrator ... It was definitely Willie Wallace representing Celtic who answered the question about Garry Owen. He was also in a sense correct (after all it was the pseudonym of the Record tipster) although the Garry Owen the question referred to was a character on Rowan and Martin's Laugh In. I do however vaguely remember Cruickie's strength in the Hearts team was also horse racing. PS - in fact the question was about Gary Owens, who was the Rowan and Martins announcer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4marsbars Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 From memory, we were in more than one series of Quizball, and once had Tom (later Sir Tom) Fleming as our celebrity fan. He was good at the quiz, anyway. Might have been in the team the year we got to the Final? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
