On This Day

[ROMA84]

wonder if many of the younger Arabs know the meaning of your "Tommy ‘By The Lights Of The Silvery Moon’ Gemmell"part in the post.

Not so sure that would be allowed to be sung nowadays...different times.

Apart from the joy of watching us run rings round them that night, one of my abiding memories was the Dundee fans at the seggy with a bed sheet saying "Rock on Tommy" absolutely losing it near the end.

And yeah, United fans cheering their consolation must have hurt them every bit as much as when United slammed in the 5 before it.

Well done mate you get double brownie points if you can provide footage of the cart axle break on the Vicky in 1910.

I’ll keep a lookout. You’ll certainly not get it on VHS or Betamax. 8mm is a no go as well. Regretfully unfortunately it pre-dates even Pathe Newsreels with accompanying Wurlitzer Organ soundtrack. However apparently it may be available in the ‘What The Butler Saw’ format.

There might have been commemorative Cave paintings brought out for the 1910. I thought I'd seen footage of that 5-1 previous, but was starting to think I'd imagined it, great when you come across footage of goals you never knew existed. Bet there was a few classic goals not caught on camera in the 80s and even early 90s.
