1st game of the season, lost 1-0 if my memory is correct
Older bears may recall an evening game at Tynecastle when Hearts had a very good team. George Niven got injured in the first half and Bobby Shearer took over in the goal. We had to play for about an hour with ten men as there were no substitutes back then. Seem to think that the score was either 4-0 or 4-1. It was a great night and victory.
I don’t remember Ian Ferguson going in goal at the Piggery but Graham Roberts certainly made a second appearance in goal there in the same seasonIt happened as well at Parkhead after the McDowall/Woods incident - Ian Ferguson went in goals again. It was either the same season or the next season.
Guess that old guys like me are always likely to struggle with events of of nearly 60 years ago. However, thanks for correcting my lapses in memory but the main thing that I got right was the great result and a very happy journey back home.October 1960 mate. It was actually Billy Ritchie and the score was 3-1 but I think it's the game you're thinking of. Hearts were the reigning champions too so it was some result.
Best memory of that night,was a bear invading the park, grabbing a corner flag,and chased the alky wife beater with it.unfortunately,Davie Provan(ours) stopped himdavie provan at the piggery
norrie martin got injured and ended up at right wing
george mclean? also injured
