Eddie Turnbull with Tommy Rae, Brian McIlroy, Dave Millar, Alec Smith, Billy Paul.
Billy McNeill with Steve Ritchie and Doug Considine
Fergie with Andy Harrow and Steve Cowan.
Both Turnbull and Ferguson were blessed by having a quotient of capable skilled winners being promoted from the reserves.
I still don't know the Forrester situation, but if he has scarring family problems affecting his play, he's better off away and I wish him well.
I still can't comment on his ability on the few fleeting appearances he made. Gordon Strachan was ineffective until 79-80, and I recall Martin Buchan getting a hard time when he broke into the Dons team for a start.
