IanFerguson2013 397 Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 I was only 14 at the time (1967) but I still remember the shame of it all. Berwick knocked us out of the Scottish Cup in the first round. They beat us 1 - nil and it was a very long time before that game stopped being brought up.RIP Sammy Reid.

harlands plater 16,990 Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 I was nine at the time and remember roaring and greeting and getting all my Rangers gear -scarf, strip, the lot - piled up and ready to chuck in the bin. My old man just laughed, and I calmed down eventually RIP Sammy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shuggy 1,308 Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 I don't remember the game, but Riddell, the Berwick goalkeeper was our PE teacher at Eastbank Academy in the 1970s. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
