Toepoke Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 (edited) Did the Hampden photo wrap round onto the back cover? BTW - never seen that photo of Law and Best before, classic! Edited March 22, 2015 by Toepoke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the Sunnylaw Jag Posted March 22, 2015 Author Share Posted March 22, 2015 (edited) I have scanned the whole cover as best I can as you can see it was a wrap round cover. I also have this as a postcard and will scan and post that later Edited March 22, 2015 by the Sunnylaw Jag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the Sunnylaw Jag Posted March 22, 2015 Author Share Posted March 22, 2015 (edited) Here is the postcard which has more detail as you can see Cathkin Park, home of Third Lanark right at the top as well as the Corporation Bus Depot on the right hand side Edited March 22, 2015 by the Sunnylaw Jag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are the horror stories of the old north stand as true as folk make out..... my grandfather was able to get in to it for a Junior Cup final in the 70's and described it as a run-down garden shed..... lights did not work so you were in pitch black getting in and out of it, patchwork repair jobs (with nails sticking out) and about 6 rows of benches which were caked in a layer of bird poo Edited March 23, 2015 by wanderer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could still see the last remnants of in at the back of the old North Enclosure in the 80s... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the Sunnylaw Jag Posted March 23, 2015 Author Share Posted March 23, 2015 (edited) Like the Hampden one, this also featured in the Scotland Epistles Magazine. It is a cracker as well, taken after Scotland beat England in 1963. Scotland played most of the game with ten men after Eric Caldow was stretchered off with a broken leg after six minutes. Both Scotland goals came from Jim Baxter. Edited March 23, 2015 by the Sunnylaw Jag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the Sunnylaw Jag Posted March 23, 2015 Author Share Posted March 23, 2015 Forgot to say everytime, I see the name Bukta I always think of that Hibs strip with the name emblazoned across it. Were they the first in Scotland to be sponsored like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the Sunnylaw Jag Posted March 24, 2015 Author Share Posted March 24, 2015 (edited) Okay it's cheating a bit with this one but I think it's a great cover and if you haven't bought it please look out for people selling it tomorrow. Although there might be only two or three of us. Edited March 24, 2015 by the Sunnylaw Jag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toepoke Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 (edited) Interesting how the games against N.Ireland used to be listed as "Ireland". Edited March 25, 2015 by Toepoke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the Sunnylaw Jag Posted March 25, 2015 Author Share Posted March 25, 2015 (edited) I meant to post this one yesterday which would have been quite fitting but I was unable to find it until this morning.

the Sunnylaw Jag Posted March 25, 2015 Author Share Posted March 25, 2015 I see this one is available on ebay at the moment. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/JIMMY-HILLS-FOOTBALL-WEEKLY-MAGAZINE-23-FEB-1968-GEORGE-BEST-/201207064355?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item2ed8e02723 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the Sunnylaw Jag Posted March 26, 2015 Author Share Posted March 26, 2015 I'm getting to the point where I am running out of covers. This one is from 1979 and the question to ask yourself is; Did Passarella take the jersey off the Scotland player after or during the game? As for other covers if you look at some of the older photos of the Facebook page some more were put up a few weeks ago. https://www.facebook.com/scotlandepistles?fref=ts ">http:// Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the Sunnylaw Jag Posted March 27, 2015 Author Share Posted March 27, 2015 (edited) Mo Jo, this time from April 1989 a few weeks after he has scored two goals against a very good French side at Hampden to give us a 2 nil win. Perhaps another case of peaking too early? Edited March 27, 2015 by the Sunnylaw Jag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orraloon Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 That Niall McGinn on the left? Nah that's a football. One of the auld fashioned type, so you might not have seen one before? Easy mistake to make though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the Sunnylaw Jag Posted March 29, 2015 Author Share Posted March 29, 2015 Great pics.....keep em coming I am running out although I do have some more of players in their club colours but I would need to find them first. In the meantime here's the cover of the first Scotland Epistles mag which is a bit of a nostalgia trip too. Don't forget there will be some selling this around the ground too and you can get issue 1 & 2 for £5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
