Phil 1,150 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Found this video on YouTube with clips from the 70's and thought I'd share. Cheered me up, watching it after the last few weeks. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b4k0c7NhrLsMr Waddell's words at the start are something to listen to if you make them out, about how much more than a club we are I have complete faith well come throughout these hard times and be as strong as we were before What a club what a support Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great post matey cheered me up so it didAnyone who was at that game, and who stood amongst what was supposed to be about 120,000 of a crowd, must wonder how they ever got 148,000 into Hampden.You couldn't fucking move in the ground that day. Not one inch...it was scary. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not one inch...it was scary.My dad always tells me of the terracing and how he just remembers being a wee boy and how whenever the crowd surged forward, he would be that tight in between the people on either side he'd get lifted up, clean off the floor, and carried about 20 yards Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

covbear 61 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Some dodgy fashions and haircuts there, especially for the league decider in 75 at Easter Road Great memories though. I was at school in the 70s so that's when I really got into the Gers. My first game was in 1969.I'm watching this at work on a computer with no sound, but who needs sound? The pictures say it all. Great find. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingKai 439 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Thought the music spoiled it a bit...nothing like hearing the Rangers crowd roaring after we scored!Was at a lot of these games..but let me tell you...absolutely nothing was better than when we were in full song at Hampden.The 73 Cup Final was just awesome!!!

Colonel Mustard 380 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 The 73 Cup Final was just awesome!!!7 years with just the DJ League cup to show for it in domestic competition. When the Gers are in the hunt, the Bears turn out. Let's hope we're going to see a bit of this in years to come, if times get hard. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

real boydie9 18,062 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I had mixed emotions watching that brilliant clip, it brought back some great memories as thats when I started going to the games, standing in the Rangers end the atmosphere was beyond belief, I was at the majority of the games shown. Wee Bud at the start my hero, the clips of Coop, Parlane, DJ, wee Doddie, big Jock. I'm HEART BROKEN whats happening to the greatest club in the world, who I've followed since I was a wee boy through the good times and the bad. I've STILL got faith we can get through this, we have to. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

2daludaludalu 390 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Great video. Have to say was getting a bit emotional watching it and what this club means to so many people is evident in this video. Love that ELO song as well! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmiston Drive 3,846 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Wow memories flooding back there.DJ goal in the League cup final was right behind the goal , what a view as the ball left his head and bang the noise. Met him the next day as he satyed the night at my pa form schools house across in Hinshelwood Dr across from the ground.Bayern game what a night got in for free , pal from schools dad was the ground keeper and again the noise and the build up.Royal Cup Final another one that will live long, still sy Greig headed that ball off the line.Easter what a day had been a party the night before(some bird got off with me in the Howff) on Alexander Parade just at the Cumbernauld Rd junction. had to phone the Trade Winds Hotel to get the Thornliebank True Blues bus to pick me up on the parade. They did but the bastards made me run then started the bus as i got to it. Did they along the parade. Cheers Gerry Maclean And after the game stopping off in Edinburgh and getting a cargo on the bus and driving round Edinburgh .Had arranged to meet the woman that was to become my ex outside the Odeon on Renfield street so the bus went through the town , good few of my mates got off and headed to the Howff. The look on her face when i came of the bus and every fucker was singing he was at a party last night. Thing is I was wearing a white dbl breasted suit jacket(made to measure in Hector powe , class) and had been in that since 7 pm the night before , jeans on right enough.Hearts Cup Final, left it late and had to climb in at the Hearts end and when walking by the old North Stand heard this guy shouting on me, turned out was a guy i was mates with when I stayed in Birmingham for a while and he had decided to come up and see if he could see me at the game. And as i was climbing over caught my denims on the barbered wire and as i jump ripped the fuckers right up to the knee.

Buses stayed to midnight on the Saturday. Remember one night we were in this pub on Union St the place was buzzing and full of woman. Drink was flowing , songs belted out and there was one of my mates on the table doing a striptease and stukkie on his legs got down the Y fronts when the manager called a halt to him.Couple of us feeding the jukebox when I slipped in the Gerry and the Pacemakers song.yeah that one........ place went deadly silent and must have been like 50 plus pint glasses hurtling towards the jukebox.
