Another game that springs to mind there was Arthur Thomson playing centre forward as we were on a run of about 6+ games without a goal. It was a midweek match, lost 2 - 1, Arthur did NOT score or play centre forward again!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember a 6 - 3 defeat there, another flashback to 50+years ago like the Annfield teaser I posed. Only time I was there ( early 80s) Hearts scored 7 goals I think.

Not helped by early picture being identified as Boghead, but is the 2nd picture taken from a different angle (obviously!!)? Good fun, gets the brain cells working & lots of (happy) memories from following HMFC since January 1964 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was told a story a few years ago by a referee who had officiated there that sums it up. The dressing rooms and showers were like something from the dark ages he said, and when he got home and unpacked his gear a rat jumped out of his bag.
