The Widow's Son 399 Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Early 1970's with Andy Penman starring for the Red Lichties. They also had a fair-haired striker named Fletcher who covered every blade of grass and scored if I recall. Late winner for them on an off-day for us. Rainy day at Ibrox so it was, so it was. Maybe the older bears recall this one too. Perhaps YouTube has the highlights. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kanjo 26,327 Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 I like this type of story. Makes me appreciate the age of our club and our great support who remember the bad times as well as the good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
covenanter 158 Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 I attended said game noted by the OP.We lost 2-3, after being 1-0 to the good at half time. The front trio of John Fletcher, Billy Pirie, and Andy Penman(our 12th man in Barca) played for 25 second half minutes and ripped our defence a new one.Ibrox applauded Arbroath from the park that day.Interestingly, that same season at Gayfield, ra green'n'grey hooped horrors killed one of their fellow supporters. The game was a sell-out and the police ordered the pay-at-the-gate turnstyles closed. The jolly craicsters stormed the main gate, it fell on a wheel chair bound supporter. The Yahoos ran over the large wooden gate, pinned the disabled supporter, and crushed him.Another highlight in the phenomenon that self styles itself as TGFITW.

harlands plater 16,957 Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 One of those games I had managed to forget. Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tannerall 25,935 Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 I went to that game as a wee boy, one of the one's I remember as we did not seem to get beat as often at Ibrox in those days and can remember the disappointment. Can still remember teams like Arbroath and East Fife in those days with their "old fashioned" colours and the wee pocket of noise that went up away at the far end if they scored a goal.Youtube does have highlights so strange comment from OP.

BLUEDIGNITY 33,638 Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 I prefer to remember the day Colin Stein (Legend) played his first game for The Rangers against Arbroath at Gayfield and scored a 5 minute hat-trick in a 5-1 win, Bud scored the other 2, in fact Rangers players scored all the goals with Arbroaths coming from a Dave Smith o.g. !

bombaybadboy08 15,660 Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 The OP is either old and doesn't realise most don't give a fuck about a game we were defeated in or he's a tim. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Widow's Son 399 Posted September 15, 2013 Author Share Posted September 15, 2013 Checked out the YouTube highlights. Half empty ground; the old Centenary Stand; black and white memories from the long ago; some fine players in that game like Parlane and Tommy McLean. Good to hear Arthur Montford mention Cammy Murray, a fine servant of the game who played with St. Mirren - I was fortunate enough to meet him once in Toronto.Don't recognise the Rangers goalie. Can anyone help me with this one? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
