I think they look like splendid fellows: where was the picture taken?

David, if my memory serves me correctly up in Fife...outside Kirkcaldy where we were playing Raith Rovers Supporters Club...maybe Nanook can confirm.
Met Ronnie, Donny, Peter, George and Pat at Berwick recently...of course Brian is still a regular whilst Davie Purves now lives in Turkey. David Orr stays in London

Jeez - you were all the scary "big boys" when I started going to Cliftonhill. Surprisingly familiar, some of these faces.

What a picture, I can just about hear Big Iain saying to Nuge….."You want me to play with this lot".....The forerunners of what turned out to be quite a good team over the years, somehow all managed by Brian, mind you he was usurped by Gerry Irvine for a while......that didn't last long

Thanks, Sam, not seen him in over 30 years, I guess he never comes about Rovers now.

Robert Crangle sent me this. We aren’t sure if this was the federation cup final team that beat Morton. I can’t remember a couple of the lads playing in it but perhaps the boss might remember  |

Looking good in the classic Admiral strips Brian got them off the club as a one off seeing it was the final, think that cup run had us in Celtic Strips and Dundee Utd strips depending on our opposition. He liked to get in their heads before the game kicked off 😂😂 |

In Semi final, Dundee United strips worn v Dundee at Dundee Violet's ground, 3-0 triumph. They did not travel for the 2nd leg, just as well as the Dunbeth Park pitch was unplayable, the old one with two slopes.
The Rovers gave us the strips for the Final v Morton. Rab Minto definately played in the match, pretty sure, Sam, you went on for Rab Minto. Don't remember Rab Lane playing in the team, but only got the strips that once so must have done.

I went on for Davie Wright. Seem to remember you saying to me at the time to do the same role as Davie had been doing to which my reply was ‘he’s done F$%k all since the game started so you’d better hope I’m not doing that’
