Fans spill onto the pitch during the semi final 2nd leg of the Fair Cities Cup tie at St James Park in 1969 following a clash between Newcastle's Wyn Davies and Ronnie McKinnon in a trouble strewn game.
Willie Henderson (7) and Andy Penman (8) are the Rangers players there.

Posted this on Sunday and decided to look closer into the crowd tonight and amazingly found myself with my wee mucker, a great bluenose in the pic. We follow followed everywhere together.

Lost touch with him over the years. He would have loved it. Brings fantastic atmospheric memories back of that extremly eventful evening.

This thread is in danger of getting me an emotional wreck what with finding my father in a pic of the Moscow Dynamo game of 1945 after it was posted on here.

Another framed pic for the wall coming up!

What a thread right enough ! :)o_O:))

Looking at that picture, and any others from the same era, it always strikes me how many of the crowd went to the match in a collar and tie. Thinking back to when I went on a supporters bus in the 70s most of the guys apart from us daft teenagers did the same.

It was pretty commonplace.It was sometimes a collar and tie alongside the 3 piece suit for me :):))

He was as honest as the day is long and held his hands up but this doesn't really capture what happenned that day.

Rangers were winning 6-0. Colin had scored a hat trick and was playing brilliantly. As he went on a run going for his fourth goal a Clyde player whose name escapes me tried to foul him at least three times.

Colin swung out at him in frustration. Result was he was sent off and Clyde player not even cautioned(? ). A 6 week ban ensued and Colin missed the Cup Final as a result which didnt help as we lost 4-0 and heralded the end of Alec Ferguson's career with us.

It was a shocking injustice. Not much has changed.

Thats him. I'm sure he wasnt cautioned or sent off. My memory of that fails me.

He got off Scot free. Think he stays in Australia now.

It was a 42 day ban as you state, which meant Colin Stein would have missed a CF replay if it was required.

Ok, we know how the score went on the day, but when the punishment was meted out, Rangers had won the previous three OF games that season.

And the President of the SFA at that time was the filth's chairman, Bob Kelly. Coincidence, eh?

Thought so because I was aware of the deep sense of burning injustice at the time. As for Kelly's postion at the time I had forgotten about that :oops:

Those shorts in the last picture look very odd.
