Scott7 6,002 Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Not the best of times to join up, Herr Berliner. No one could call you a glory hunter. We old geezers 1947/64 had it pretty easy apart from one freak event that I don't like to talk about. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexscottislegend 2,318 Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 We should start a sub-forum of our own. The names roll off the tongue: Ritchie, Shearer, Caldow, Davis, Paterson or Baillie, Baxter; Scott, McMillan, Millar, Brand and Wilson. First game my uncle took me to was Rangers 0 Airdrie 0. 1958 or 9 I think. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

der Berliner 3,743 Posted July 14, 2012 Author Share Posted July 14, 2012 Mind you, my first live game was the CSKA Moscow one in Bochum in 1992. After all, the Wall only came down a few years previous. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexscottislegend 2,318 Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Legend - I was happier when big Baillie was left out!Remember him booting the ball out of the ground a few times - that seemed to be his greatest feat! Didn't he write for the Sunday Post some years later? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott7 6,002 Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Baillie wrote for the SP. Wasn't too good at that either. Played centre forward sometimes but he could never use his weight or height effectively. Unlike Jimmy Millar. Short in stature but leapt like a salmon, usually high above McNeil. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
