    Not that the next generation will be able to imagine why that was good.
    Cold and having to be beside people you didn’t know.
    That Ipswich game ranks alongside Bayern for me. Ipswich, the darlings of English football against us. Peter Weir absolutely destroyed Mick Mills that night. Bobby Robson and the English press couldn’t believe it. We did believe and we absolutely battered the tractor boys. Link attached for auld buggers.

    The first time I saw Weir in our colours was in the pre-season tournament where he looked promising in both games, and scored against West Ham. He got another against Airdrie in the League Cup a couple of weeks later. Nowadays, we'd be carrying him aroon in a sedan chair as a sign of his status, and to protect those slightly-weak tendons, whilst ensuring that his seat in the dressing room was upholstered in the finest oriental silk, stuffed with the softest swan down (if you can ever get the fuuckers out of the sky to pluck them, like).

    Trivia of little importance: Peter, Mary and the loons (one born on 20 December 83 when we made history by becoming the only Scottish club to win a second Euro trophy) were my next-door neighbours when I moved to the current Vintage Acres in March 88. The boy himsel was a Leicester City player by then, and they moved sooth a few weeks after I bought this dump. Nice people on the few occasions we swapped greetings over the fence.
