As a 16 year old I went to Fir Park for this friendly game which was played after the league was over and there was a gap before the cup winners cup final at the end of May. The Motherwell team had some guest players including Ian St John. I think the game was quite close but my memory of it is very sketchy. Any follow followers remember it?

I remember something similar but would not have been able to tell you much about it other than Jimmy Millar was playing as a guest in the game I saw. Jimmy Millar was also possibly playing in an all white strip.

Same starting XI as Nuremberg. A couple of months beforehand in a league match at Fir Park I watched Alex Willoughby rattle in 4 goals in a 5-1 victory. What on earth made Scot Symon decide to drop Willoughby?
