PRW. 5,631 Posted June 22, 2012 Author Share Posted June 22, 2012 Any specific reason the RSC flags changed from red white and blue patterns to Union flags?The pics of all the old RSC flags scattered over trackside and the piggery is fantastic, would be great to have it like that for even one game a season with RSC flags.

Hve mentioned befor the return game 0-6 ........I went to the primaray across the road from the stadium and one of my plas was the sone of the groundsman and Alex Willoughby was pals with his dad as he was an apprentice and they used to work with the gorundsman and he was given the number 10 Real Jersey after the game Puskas/di stefano really can't recall fully ......anyway he was given their jersey after the gaem and we got to try it on.Another great night was the Inter game when big Roger hit that volley from about the halfway line and hot Sartil on the chest and Jim Forrest scored fro the rebound.....Jim was the first man to score against them in the SanSiro in a European game 3-1...remember Wullie Henderson said he bent down to tie his boots anad when he got up it was 3-0 and big Dandy hitting th crossbar at Ibrox and would have tied the game 3-3 agg.Those nights will never be forgotten.

Madina 3,841 Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Great pictures. Some bought a tear to my eye (I know that sounds really gay), but I thought of all the old supporters who are dead, I wonder what they would make of the mess brought about my Murray and Whyte. They would be turning in their graves (or ashes) at the situation we are in. I hope we can bring the good times back again soon, so those pictures can be added to the archives Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
