Nah, he saved the previous one then went all radge and thought he could hit the winner, iirc, he picked the ball up to hit the next one, surreal. 

Hit the moon then we got knocked out. 

 

The lc is just full of horror stories Tbh. 

That was about the same time as a 2-4  St Johnstone ( 2 nil up) and a 0-1 Falkirk, Eddie may last minute goal. 

Horrendous stuff in the lc as per. 

 

I was at all them, at least the Dundee game was a cracker. 

Iirc Dundee had a couple of decent players and weren't bad. 

 

 

Dundee had Neil McCann and Jim Hamilton iirc.

Nah, he saved theirs, got all excited then ****ed up ours. 

 

He must have been on the bingo that night. 


Horrendous night for Henry, but it was a moment which changed the direction of the club. We got Rousset off the back of this who became a cup final legend.

He used to train our amateur team as his brother in law was the captain. Then we’d all go out for a beer afterwards. 
 

Spoke to him in the Gorgie suite about two years ago. Wouldn’t have recognised him if I’d walked past him on the street as he’s changed so much since his playing days.  Now working as a janitor at George Heriots school. 

Head Jannie. That's where I was talking to him

I liked Brough as a keeper but Henry was a definite upgrade.

Was it really 1983? I only ask as I had it in my head it was a couple of years later.

I believe it was this month in 83 IIRC . I was in the front row of the |Main Stand at darkhead

My recollection is that Greaves doubted his Scottish credentials as he was good and had what Greaves considered to be an 'English' name.

 

 

This answer is 100% spot on.

He dropped the one that lead to the equaliser. The winner McGee elbowed him as,clear as day in the face, but as it was a,weedgie team in the Weedge he got away with it. Was a blatant foul.


Yep, first one he made an error and dropped the ball, second was a clear foul that we didn’t get.
