Clydebank legendary goalie Jim Gallacher

I wouldn't be surprised if the Bankies get past Annan today. Talbot won't beat Hearts and Banks o Dee won't beat Raith, but the Bankies have a shot. Don't see Darvel beating Arbroath either.
 
I’m sure he worked at the United Distillers bottling plant at Shieldhall for a while.
 
Seen many a game at Kilbowie park, I used to get in for nothing because we were involved in 5th Clydebank boys brigade and it was just up the road from me
Seen Maurice Johnston playing for Partick Thistle,seen Davie Cooper bursting the ball for Rangers in a midweek Scottish cup tie,seen Davie Cooper playing for Clydebank against hearts in a Scottish cup tie, what an atmosphere.
I miss going to Kilbowie park when the Rangers weren't playing.
 
I think I've still got the programme from his testimonial somewhere in the house.

I also remember the claim that Kilbowie was the first all seater stadium in Scotland - it certainly wasn't the first all covered all seater - those wooden bench seats were a pain in the erse sometimes literally.
