dkmmgcycbwc Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Photo on inside pages of today's Herald shows a keeper having a fly puff of a cigarette in a game at Hampden. Terraces are empty. I am 100% sure it is JC but wonder what the game is. The hairline looks too far receded for his QP days. Maybe one of his last games after he signed for Dumbarton or a reserve game. He did play for Scotland there in front of a small crowd but I feel his actions would have been publicised if it had been that night. Anyone else seen this? Confirmation that it is JC? Any ideas on the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any ideas on the game? I saw that. Didn't think it was Cruikie. Mainly cos the photo looks from a far, far older time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debtor Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 He did play for Dumbarton at the end of his career. However I am not sure he was a smoker. It is unlikely any goalie would smoke during a game in Cruikies time. Any chance of posting the pic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinydancer Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 The photo was taken in 1960. No way is it JC (imo of course) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micole Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 I think you will find it is the one and only Jocky Robertson of Third Lanark and a good Jambo to boot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Scotsman text confirms that it is a Third Lanark goalkeeper so its almost certainly Jocky Robertson. GC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
