I'm jammed against the traffic lights at the corner of Merry Street and Brandon Street - behind Willie Kilmarnock. The team was going to Robb's tearoom, from which the photographer would take the picture. My grandfather wouldn't take me to Hampden - he'd suffered a couple of disappointing defeats in cup finals and thought he was a jinx, so he did a Sailor Hunter and stayed away. So that was me dished. How much a nine - year - old would have seen in that crowd is a moot point, but I'd definitely have gone!
There will be a lot of folk on a none for three or four record by the time the next one rolls around...I wonder if any of them will skip it as a jinx?
