60 years on

[Yazz]

Charlie Aitken was my hero and the Ancell babes played teams off the park. We won the Summer Cup in style in 1965. We lost too many semi-finals after getting beaten by Hearts in the league cup final in 1954. Joe Wark/Bobby Graham/Willie Pettigrew were special in their time. It was important for me to support the cause when we were in the lower division. Wee Tam was important for us and psycho's 40 yarder and Kirkie's back post header are etched in my mind from 1991. We passed teams off the park better than the Ancell babes in the mid 1990s. We came through the business problems of 10 years ago and have made two finals. We've been in Europe ump**** times and I sat behind the goal when Hateley's free kick beat Roy Carrol in Odense. Yesterday was special v St Johnston!
Come on the Well!

Finally I get logged in, and no better a thread to contribute to than this.

I tip my hat to you Sir, and trust you enjoy many many more years of th

Charlie Aitken was a wonderful - and clean! - player; the lack of recognition at international level was scandalous. His heading ability was legendary. Another poster mentioned St.Mirren. We lost 3-2 to them in the cup at Love Street - I'm sure it was 1959, when they eventually won the trophy - and I still have a mental picture, followed by a sinking feeling, when Willie McSeveney's header hit the bar near the end.
I still have a soft spot for Bobby Roberts, our left half after Bert McCann. Great engine, ferocious shot and not prone to taking prisoners. He went to Leicester City, I think?
