Your cup final winning goal in 73 will never be forgotten.

You have to add in Alex Miller (not a favourite of The Deedle but liked by we fans) and Willie Mathieson (who played in Barca and in the 1973 cup final)Homework done. Post edited. I didn’t realise he only signed in Oct 72.
In my defence I was only born in May 73, a couple of weeks after his winner in the SC Final.
In my mind the defence for the whole of the seventies was McCloy, Jardine, Greig, Forsyth Jackson with Dawson replacing Greig.
Midweek game at Tannadice. I'm right at the front about 3 feet from the pitch in the big terracing that was opposite the main stand. Paul Sturrock turns his head and says something to Tam who was right behind him. Didn't hear what Sturrock said but Tam's reply was "don't gee's any yir patter ya wee bastard"An absolute giant of a Ranger.
He got a red v St Mirren in the 3-3 in 77. He told me he was innocent of punching McGarvey and Jock had him up against a wall by the throat. To be fair Jock was under pressure at the time.
As I said an absolute giant of a Ranger.
I'm half cut and the tears are blinding me.
Ps
I reckon he rattled McGarvey a full yin
