Och - That’s a bit ‘rough’ on Alan... at least we got to World Cup finals when he was in goal - and we did manage a very welcome sneaky win over England a wee bit more often back in these heady and good old days !!!

The Stenhousemuir goalie I saw at Montrose in 1980 was a bad ‘in, responsible for all three Mo goals. Howie, big lad with a beer belly. 1980? I weren't alive then.

I weren't alive then. 1980 - ‘Twas the year I started supporting The one and only ⚽️💙 HUDDERSFIELD TOWN 💙⚽️... and I was just a wee nipper aged ten ! I’ve made a few mistakes in ma life - not many but one or two... but picking Huddy Town as ma favourite team is one of the best ever ever decisions I’ve ever made !!! 👍🥃

Good luck to the lad. Hope the loan works out great for him. Hes a great shot stopper, just needs to improve other aspects of his game and get his confidence back.

I wish Ryan all the very best but I have to doubt how much he’ll play

The three greatest ever British managers were all Scottish too, Ferguson, Bill Shankly and Jock Stein.

The Rolling Stones based arguably their best song on an old traditional Scottish crofter's folk song too. 'Hey McCloud Get Off Of My Ewe'

Come on Westie 😆 Yip... incredible manager was Jock for moulding 11 lads from within a 25 mile radius of Glasgow City centre to be The Champions of Europe (and the first British team to do it no less) He also got Scotland to the 1982 World Cup finals and to the play off v Australia in 1986 which Scotland ultimately won but sadly the play off tensions in the match v Wales at Ninian Park ultimately cost him his life as his heart tragically gave way and it was fatal on the night... I doubt we’ll ever see a Stein, Shankley or Ferguson outta Scotland again but you never know... Hopefully Alex Neil can do well - with the exception of home and away fixtures v Huddersfield Town in The Championship of course !

Andrew Kennedy. Bad Scottish keepers is a thing of the past to be honest. Was he the one that ran into the post when England put 5 past them in the Home Internationals ? Edit : I'm thinking of Stewart Kennedy (I think 🤔)

I'll let you off. Yeah, poor oversight from me there.
Although it was 1992 so it didn't really happen. You dreamt it (in black and white).

Except he wasn't a triple champion with either. He'd left Town before we completed the 3 in a row and he'd died before Arsenal did

Whilst it could be argued that they were Chapman's teams that won the title three times in a row (twice), he only actually won four titles in total. He left Town after the second title win in 1925 and his two Arsenal successes were in 1930-31 & the first of Arsenal's hat-trick of titles in 1932-33. He died half through the 1933-34 season. Edit; Porrohman beat me to it.
