Great pic of the record breaking, league winning side taken in 1958. However, someone is missing! Who is it and why is he not in the picture?

Alex Young,  probably National Service and Freddie Glidden possibly part time, did he not have a post office in West Lothian

Don't think I can see Bobby Parker in the pic. He did play in the league winning side but his last game for the club was in, I think, our only defeat of the season to Clyde. If it is him who's missing I've no idea why, though. Maybe he was busy selling newspapers in his kiosk at the bus station ;)

Alfie Conn, although I’ve no idea why.

 

Edit: just spotted him in the white strip top left.

Many thanks,had a feeling that was Willie although he`s looking a bit more rugged there compared to the slick illustrations that Ive saw of him.

Wonderful stuff

If you like 'old' pictures of teams and stories about them at the time, this is from a fantastic new book called 'It's A Team Game' available at Waterstones. Great team pictures and wonderful stories about them and their players.

Great find there, Bob.  Super to see the whole senior squad there.    It's made me look up the dates for folk like Bobby Parker, Davie Holt,  etc to see how their careers relate to 1958.

 

Parker's last game was the end of 1957, so he would have played in the league winning side

Davie Holt's first game was 1960.

 

Interesting to see Jim MacFadzean in the photo. He went on to become a stalwart at Killie, and sadly was in the 1965 team which pipped us on the last day.

Remember that day vividly LS, I was only 9 and standing on the floodlight base at the Georgie end. Distraught!

I would have  been the same age actually. Can't remember anything about the game, but remember my Grandad lifting me up on to his shoulders outside the Gorgie Road entrance for safety because of the big crush of folk trying to get in.   When my Mum heard about the crush (and "losing" my Dad inside the ground), she wouldn't let me go to the 1968 Cup Final  😃  Turned out she made a wise decision on that one 🙄

Unfortunately that was my first ‘lost final’ experience. Went through on the train myself as a 12 year old😭😭😭
