WadeWilson 4,670 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Any Bears go to the Tennents Sixes when the were going...? They were usually held round about this time of year.I LOVED the Sixes... They also had TV coverage (Scotsport with a young Jim White) back when people actually cared about football in their own country before the bloated Premiership defecated over everything in it's path.Can you imagine the Scottish footballers of these days being asked to play in high-octane, boxed-in games where close control is king? Neither can I.Anyway... memories are made of this... Any other Sixes footage or images of the Gers would be most welcome in this thread.Cheers!1989 Sixes - full tournament highlights: Some earlier footage from the first ever Sixes in 1984:Rangers v Dundee in the final featuring Davie Cooper in the team (loved that away kit): BRING BACK THE SIXES!!! :21: :21: :21: Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kopter 310 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Was at the 1989 one which we won.Semi against Celtic was some atmosphere. Everyone was going nuts - players celebrating like it was a title decider Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebluedoo 2,652 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I was at the one in the coasters arena in Falkirk, was only in my teens but remember I got big John McClellands autograph on my program, brilliant competition, COOPER, PRYTZ, and Ian Ferguson were outstanding in this type thing, I am with the OP on this one, bring back the sixes Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebluedoo 2,652 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 SHOULD HAVE WATCHED THE LINKS FIRST, THANKS VERY MUCH FOR POSTING THAT, IT MEANS A LOT AS THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME THAT MY BIG BROTHER EVER TOOK ME TO A MATCH, MY BROTHER IS ILL AT THE MOMENT AND THIS HAS BROUGHT BACK A WONDERFUL MEMORY, THANKS AGAIN BMR Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopter 310 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Maybe footballers started taking themselves too seriously.They certainly took themselves seriously at the 1989 one. Just checked it out on youtube to make sure I remembered it correctly.Watch the semi against Celtic - tackles flying in, players squaring up and the squeakiest TBB ever. Also, doubt anyone in Scottish football today has Cooper's skill as shown on the highlights. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sillybilly 151 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 The only one I went to, Nottingham forest were invited to take the place of rangers, who pulled out. A young Stuart Pearce played and was easily the best player on show. I still quite like watching the 6 a side masters that are still on Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
topgoalie 637 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Coasters hosted the first one,cannot remember of that, but do remember it as a night club.Sundays nights were special,a lot of players from various teams would come through....the memories......

I doubt we will see a left peg like that ever again in Scottish football.Coasters hosted the first one,cannot remember of that, but do remember it as a night club.Sundays nights were special,a lot of players from various teams would come through....the memories......Hahah. Thanks for the info, mate. So in 1984 it was a case of quick shower and upstairs to the lounge before hitting the dancefloor? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeparateEntityMyArse 53,715 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Went to a good few of the Tennents 6s at SECC. Loved them.Hazy memories, but I'm sure we won more than our fair share.Think Walters was one of the best to watch. As for Dave McPherson.................
