Slim Jim Bear. 27 Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 A call out to older bears... I remember my dad telling me about a midweek cup game around 1968 ( I think it might have been the Glasgow Cup?) Where every one of our starting 11 had the letter n at the end of their surname. Can anyone confirm/provide names? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably Andy Penman, Davy Wilson, Willie Johnston, Colin Stein, Davie Provan and Orjan Persson would be some of the names. Too early for Colin Jackson or Willie Mathieson I think.

Slim Jim Bear. 27 Posted April 19, 2022 Author Share Posted April 19, 2022 Thanks mate, that is pretty close. I think it's because we had so many players ending in the letter N that people understandably assume that 11 of them must have played in the same game.
