Popular Post CammyF 8,079 Posted October 25 Popular Post Share Posted October 25 Sad to hear of the untimely passing of Lex Shields the other day. Lex was a great wee player for Bo'ness United and starred in their last Junior Cup victory against Ballieston at Ibrox in 1984. Lex was granted a testimonial by Bo'ness and Rangers supplied the opposition and brought a decent team to Newtown Park including the late, great Davie Cooper. Rest easy Lex. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluedell 5,624 Posted October 25 Share Posted October 25 I think I saw him playing for Bo'ness in the 1979 Scottish Cup semi at Brockville, when they narrowly defeated the mighty Pollok. A good player from what I can remember. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good player from what I can remember. Yeah, sure he played in that game. Bo'ness played a few cracking and very well attended semi-finals at Brockville late 70s and early 90s. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
