100 goals scored.

 

Less than 57-58. That season had a goal difference if over 100.

Sat 16 Apr 1960 St Mirren 4 Hearts 4

 

 

Willie Bauld in the 89th minute,

 

 

 

Point of trivia - If Old Firm results had been removed Killie would have won

 

 

Will we ever do it again?

Can't see us winning it for a long time. Could've done it in 05/06 if Vlad hadn't interfered.

St Mirren getting a man sent off. Dirty bar stewards. And we came back four times, according to that - must have been some game.

My mates old Man used to tell the story of running on the pitch at the end of the game and the commentator on tv saying about a young Hearts fan getting carried away. How good would that have been - just wished Norrie lived long enough to see the 5-1!!!

I was there! I was there!

 

On the pitch!

 

Thought it was always going to be like this!

 

It's as thrilling thinking about it today as it was then!

Good win for Third Lanark at Clyde

 

Draws didn't seem common place either - Killie drew 2 out of 32 games

 

18 team league could be the way forward - would be if it finished like that more often than not

 

Football has changed ........ but for the better ?

Will never happen again. Scottish football is set up so only two clubs can ever win the title. It's cups only for us in the future.

Crowds plummeted in the following 5 years throughout Scottish football.

 

The reduction of Saturday half day working was probably the biggest factor.

Am I right in counting 19 teams in the 2nd division?

 

All clubs are still in existence today bar Third Lanark - kind of surprising how they have managed to survive this long to be honest
