scottyscott1963 18,328 Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 My first game I remember,even though I had been at a lot of matches,was the 63 SC replay when we beat the tramps 3-0 with 2 goals from Ralphie Brand and Davie Wilson scored the other goal. The crowd was a reported 128,000 That was the day I wanted to be Captain Cutlass when we played football as kids. Ended up more like Captain Pugwash.

Who the fuck remembers a game from 50 year ago were we got beat fuck sake Sorry Williamson. I live overseas and it's such a long ride on the supporter's bus so I don't make it back very often. This game has always stuck with me for some reason. The team was aging and hadn't won a trophy for a while. Will try to think of warm and fuzzy memories just for you.

Peter Marinello scored twice and tore us a new one as Hibs won 3-1. I think Joe McBride scored the third. Norrie Martin's last game for the Rangers. Were you there? I was. Wonder what ever happened to Peter Marinello? Few months after Woodstock ... Way too young to remember that one Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did have some decent games . That 1-0 loss enabled us to helped get the 2-0 win in return One of the best nights of my young life watching us knock Juventus out . A team of world cup winners too.

jaywalker 377 Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 The 3-1 game was my first ever game. I remember my dad lifted me over the turnstile then a policeman threw us both out after he paid to get in, he was raging as he had to pay again to get in. i don't remember much about the game but remember walking towards the subway after the game chuffed I'd finally got to a game but trying to look suitably miserable because of the result. a bloke in front of us threw his scarf away saying it was the worst game he had ever seen and he wasn't ever going back. I wish I had a £ for every time I'd heard that since. oh! By the way I also picked up the scarf and had it for years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder what ever happened to Peter Marinello? I was probably at it but to be honest don't remember. My dad used to take me home and away back then, would be 10 later that month. Unless there was a something on that meant he couldn't take me I would have been there. As for Marinello he went to Arsenal, probably too young. Never lived up to the hype that I remember at the time. I remember buying chewing gum with picture cards of players in it. Think there were 3 or 4 in each pack and almost every pack had a picture of Marinello in it. I clearly remember the Dundee game that others have mentioned in the thread. I am sure it had happened before but it is the first time I can clearly remember people throwing their scarfs away. I always thought it was the first senior game in Scotland played on a Sunday, not just first involving us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
