My next word would upset poor Mason so I'll leave it out.
We were due to play the cup-holders Dunfermline at Pittodrie in 1969. Rained off on the Saturday, we drew with them two days later.

The SFA decreed that the replay had to be played the next evening in Dunfermline.

Ally Shewan broke a toe (his own for a change) on the Monday, and played next night after taking a pain-killing jab.
