Scott7 6,665 Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Any amount of heroes on this. FA Cup semifinal 1962. Reported attendance at Hillsborough of 65,000. No disasters. No large scale trouble. I wonder why that was? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott7 6,665 Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Reading the extract from the Post reminded me of the days when papers actually printed news without hyperbole. I remember McEwan. Good player.

It's a conversation I've had a few times, in the pub. Among the names that always crop up: Charlie Cooke : bluenose from a bluenose family in The Port/Greenock. George Graham: bluenose from Bargeddie Andy Gray: bluenose from a bluenose family in Drumchapel John Wark: bluenose from a bluenose family in Kingsway, Scotstoun Steve Nicol: from Ayr The Hansen Brothers from Clackmananshire. And none of those hailed from further than, what, 30 miles from Glasgow. And they could play a bit. There are more..... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The players I mentioned were all Rangers' supporters in their youth, but were somehow missed by scouts, despite all possessing significant ability. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
