Martin Luther 53 Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 The two South African wonderkids Thomas Madigage and Augustine Makalakalane. I remember going down to Kilbowie to see them play in a friendly against Clydebank and they were terrific and lighting quick. The hype surrounding them was massive and then all of a sudden, they just vanished.Anyone else remember these two guys?Thats the lad nothing came of himThere was a black player called andy grey who played for us or did I just dream that.

Bud72 117 Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Gordon Ramsay. Wonder what happened to him, probably working behind the counter at the copland diner Did he not score a hatrick in the 72 cup winners final, was top scorer in Europe that year and won world player of the year I think the black AG played in testimonial.

theweebluenose 4,343 Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Salim Bachi Khan, an Indian international, played barefoot for Glasgow Rangers in the 1936-37 season.I'm sure he played for Celtic, whereas our first non-white signing was the Walter Tull who didn't make his debut due to the outbreak of the first World War.

DietofWorms 2,079 Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 did he play many/any games for usI'm sure he did, in the 1984ish era with Davie MacKinnon et al. I'd need to google it to be sure though.edit: 5 appearances 1985/6 season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is the one I am thinking about, there is nothing on wikipedia about him playing for us.TBH it might have been falkirk he defo came on as sub and the name got read out everybody was saying thats no andy grey .I remember that he looked about 16 stone and had thighs like tree trunks and kicked anything that moved. But I dont think it was as late as when he played for falkirk. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
