Celtic v Queens Saturday, 16th October 1954 Division A

Queens team that played Celtic when the Glasgow club were leading the Championship and Queens were 3rd bottom:

Henderson
Smith
Binning
Sweeney
Hollywood
Greenock
McGill
Brown
Black
Patterson
Oakes

I was wondering the playing records of both Sweeney and Hollywood with Queens as I never recognised theirs.

Celtic's team was:

Bonnar
Haughney
Fallon
Evans
Stein
Peacock
Tully
Smith
Higgins
Walsh
Mochan

The referee was: CE Faultless (good for a referee)

Still to look up the match score thru Google Newspapers.

1-1 draw with Celtic equalising in the last minute

Surprised that you don't know Holywood and Sweeney as they came from your home town's junior teams
Irvine Vics. and Irvine Meadow

Thanks for the info.

The referee was: CE Faultless (good for a referee).

I remember Charlie Faultless: let me assure you that he did not live up to his. He was probably one of the worst referees around at that time. I remember him scoring against us at Palmerston. He was standing in our penalty area: the ball was kicked towards him: and tried to jump over the ball but merely deflected it into the net.

Really? He's the referee in quite a few programmes I have from that time.

Faultless was a top referee of many international matches and also the 1954 World Cup. He would have been 108
years old this year so Proudy what age were you when you saw him at Palmerston ?

Who's Proudy ? Our boss is called Proudy but it can't be him.
