The great uncle of one of the props buyers on Apollo 13 was from Froghall, and he maintained links with family members in the city.
Since the ill-fated craft lifted off on 10 April 1970, the prop buyer sneaked a facsimile copy of the Green Final’s front page from the following evening, announcing the Dons’ triumph over the Parkhead stinkies. on to the set. He had it placed on the floor of Jim Lovell’s adolescent daughter’s bedroom when she threw the strop about Paul McCartney having filed whatever was required to end The Beatles the day before.
I’ve not seen the clip/discarded scene, but I trust my source.
Tremendous film. My second visit to Hampden, but among the best ever.
