My Grandad used to say that he went from being worst player in the late-50s team to being the best in the md-60s team - without actually getting any better himself. A sad indictment on how the club had started to decline in the 60s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Living in Ayr, and with two young boys, football was out of the question except if we were in Edinburgh for family visits. I spent my Saturday afternoons at the ironing board in the bedroom listening to the radio. That period ended when my eldest son got to the age of age about ten when I could argue that two season tickets were justified by father/son bonding. He's still a committed Jambo. We had s/t's in the old stand until the Gorgie stand was finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just some guesses - Photo 1 - Jock Stein in foreground ? Photo 2 - Timothy outside the shed ? Mind you, in the 1971 cup replay most of the shed was occupied by them Photo 3 - Late 60s ? Donald Ford (9) and Roald Jensen to his left ? Photo 4 - JJ and John Gallacher. Tommy Burns & George McCluskey ? Photo 5 - Alan Anderson. Don't recognise the Celts Photo 6 - Kenny Garland (?) Dave Clunie, George Donaldson (?), David Hay, JJ, Dalglish, Jimmy Cant Photo 1 with Jock Stein in the foreground. I believe this to be a Scottish Cup tie in 1966. The game was 'supposed' to be all ticket with a capacity of 46000. Just after the kick off with thousands still outside the exit gates at the Gorgie Road entrances were forced open and fans rushed the gates. This resulted in the pitch invasion you see in the photo as the game had to be stopped for safety reasons. The fans down at the front many children had to be allowed on to the pitch to escape the crushing. If the fences that were later installed at the wall had been in force then there would surely have been a 'Hillsboro' type disaster. Once the game restarted the referee with the usual sense of fair play ensured Celtic received the benefit of two dodgy decisions and escaped with a 3-3 draw and won the replay.

Very good memory there, Luckydug. It leads me to think that this incident may be why my Mum wouldn't allow me to go to "big" games for a few years (I was 9 at the time), after hearing my Dad's description of events. 😧 Edited October 12, 2020 by Lone Striker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
