1963 Scottish Cup Final

[Fondablondes]

The first match ended in a draw. I think the quality of picture is very good for 1963

The replay not in colour or as good quality but better result

 

[sammysun]

I was at both games, replay in the selic end.

 

[Barca Bear]

the two brand goals look identical.

black/white because of light

 

[Superrangers]

Not so sure OP. The green and grey stripes are giving me migraines.

Great piece of memorabilia Sam.

Some attendance at both games.
Always enjoy seeing Rangers giving them a good skelping

My best memory of the replay,was the amount of bears in the Celtic end.was very noticeable,as all the time were long gone

 

[BillySimpson]

A joy to watch

Check out the bird in the first game with the headscarf and her rollers in, maybe going straight out after the game ?

Yeah I noticed that. I suppose she'd be going to the Saturday night dancing.
My mother-in-law has quite a collection of documentaries and kitchen sink dramas from the late 50's and early 60's. It was very normal for women to have rollers in during the day, and carry on with their business, in preparation for a night out .

 

[Ronnietheranger]

My Old Man was at both games, Baxter was his hero and he said it was the finest he'd seen him play in a Rangers jersey, it must have been a joy to watch.

It's actually quite sad that Scotland doesn't produce players of that calibre anymore.

I too was at both games and we were easily the best team in both of them. I heard the older guys at the time implying that maybe it was something that suited both clubs as they would double their take!

W.A.T.P.

Ultimately it probably did suit both teams financially, however reading match reports, online, it appears that their keeper Haffey had a brilliant game. Actually he apparently played well in the replay.

 

[jimbear]

Something not widely remembered about the first game is that that mob could not sell all of their tickets and a sizeable group of our supporters watched the game in their end.

I am quite positive it was the first game that our supporters were in their end. The first game was all ticket and they could not sell their allocation. The replay was pay at the gate. I remember hearing of quite a few Bears in our area who could only get tickets for their end.

Locked out of the Rangers end, police say'swe will take you to their end and protect you, we believed them too,soon as we were in they F----d Off, I dont have to say what came down on us, back then, screwtaps and all.

Surely not. I've been told that back then the polis were all Rangers supporting orangemen who victimised catholics.

Trying to remember but I think you're right about Frank Haffey, who, incidentally grew up next to Ibrox, did perform well but you can't beat a good conspiracy!

If you visit Liverpool these days it is very common to see young girls out shopping on a Saturday while wearing rollers in preparation for a night out.

We all love a good conspiracy
The only thing I really knew about Haffey was that he was Scotland's goalkeeper when England won 9-3. That led me to think he was a bit of a haddy, however I've now read that he was pretty decent. He still lost aga inst us which is all that matters.

Yes but they're not quite as refined as Glaswegian girls. They may catch up eventually

Hold onto it mate. When we eventually get a museum we'll need artifacts

Brings back great memories As I was at both games. Great footage! Thanks for posting.

Fuck that bud, Closest I've been to them was at the fence of the North Enclosure for the 86 LCF, god only knows what it'd have been like in 63

Made an arse of trying to copy and paste the games only, posted the whole bloody thread doh.

Only stumbled across this thread today. The clip does not show it clearly but at our third, I think Ralph Brand’s shot squirmed beneath Haffey. He didn’t look too great at Davie Wilson’s goal either (thankfully).

 

[Old timer]

What I remember was how massive this game was and the media frenzy for about a week before the game as this was the first old firm Scottish cup final for 35 years. There was no radio commentary for the replay,they covered the spurs athletico Madrid cup winners cup final. Only found out the result when sportsnight (England) went to Hampden live for the cup presentation and this 13 year old started doing cartwheels.

I was in their end for the first game but was in my rightful place for that glorious replay. What an evening!

[Sicario13]

I'd forgotten how good a player Willie Henderson was. That was good to watch.

I was in the pub the Queens Park Cafe in the Vicky Rd, spent to long in the pub by the time I got to the MF. end it was shut, so ended up in their end, I was seventeen at the time.

 

[mfgorm]

Trying to see the brown ball is difficult on a phone screen . Thankfully they changed.

 

[Trevor Reznick]

I still laugh at my sceptical reaction when my wife came in from work and said a workmate’s brother’s girl friend worked at Selic Park and could get me two Stand tickets for the first game. The laugh was on me when I got them for rowA main stand.
Was back among the bears in the north enclosure for the replay, what a night.

 

[bullen an la]

the scum even got jammy break of the ball goals in those days
