shotstopper 765 Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 eight goals in his first three games - hat trick, hat trick then double. Can't remember who against. One of our ECWC heroes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Widow's Son 399 Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Many thanks for bringing back some good memories. I still feel very strange watching the goal in the Ibrox Disaster game knowing that tragedy would soon follow. Some eerie music too in the background.

Jocky Broon 207 Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 What a Player Colin was. He puts the current lot to shame. There was never a lost cause when he played. He chased down everything and he must have been a defenders nightmare. I was privileged to see those first 2 games and he remains my hero to this day. He brings back some memories - that opening goal in the ECWC Final. Woooooft! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
allcinaye 336 Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 40 years ago this month, but still unforgettable.40 years ago, where have the years gone,at the match I ended up standing next to some guys who were affiliated in some way with The Tillietudlem Inn, Crossford which at that time was owned by Geordie Young.

Paid in and stood by myself on that high terracing they had opposite the stand. When Colin Stein scored there was absolute bedlam, and I jumped on the guy standing beside me. "Fuck off", he muttered, "I'm a Hibs supporter". Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
