Band of Brothers 10,303 Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Went to a fair few times and the players were easy to get to for autographs and managed to get every players autograph that was in the teams. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inigo 32,534 Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Great wee tourney. Good for kids as well. I went to a few of them when I was young and loved it. Good to watch on the TV. It still felt quite important to win it even though it didn't really mean much and it was thoroughly entertaining. An added opportunity to mhank skelp as well.

One Jock Wallace 858 Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 We always done well. Think we won it most years. Think in the early years it was somewhere in Edinburgh, murrayfield ice rink? then moved to Coasters in Falkirk Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The players were too valuable to risk in a 6s tourney. Imagine if it had continued and Laudrup had been injured during what was, for all it's positives, a glorified kickabout whilst we were involved in a CL campaign.

Gaz52 11,837 Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Didn't Motherwell win it twice, was it Motherwell? So they're the most successful team in Tennant's sixes history Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inigo 32,534 Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Just looking at Wiki. We only won it twice. I could have sworn we'd won it more. 1984: Rangers (defeated Dundee 6–4 in final) 1985: Heart of Midlothian (defeated Morton 4–1 in final) 1986: Aberdeen (defeated St Mirren 3–0 in final) 1987: Aberdeen (defeated Heart of Midlothian 4–3 in final) 1988: Dundee (defeated Motherwell 3–2 in final) 1989: Rangers (defeated Motherwell 2–1 in final) 1990: Hibernian (defeated St Mirren 3–0 in final) 1991: Heart of Midlothian (defeated Motherwell 5–3 in final) 1992: Celtic (defeated St Johnstone 4–2 in the final) 1993: Partick Thistle (defeated Airdrieonians 4–3 in the final) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandyinroyalblue 16,478 Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Loved the legends tournaments that the 9 in a row boys played in. Mark Walters tormenting the beggars every year was a particular highlight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
