Didn't he play on with a fracture in one of his legs in that game?.

Remember joke broon said that Walter having assessed the pattern of play that he need to change tactics.
Nothing at all to do with the broken bone!

His gait was akin to that of the front legs of a horse.

See, that would have been OK had the camera not been focused on Cowan on the stretcher at the time!
Signed him from Clyde. I'm sure it was a £100,000, a big fee to buy from a lower Division Scottish club at the time.

Think he actually spent 4 seasons with us. His last game was the Aberdeen title decider - we signed David Robertson after that.
Tom became a firefighter after retiring as a player.

Was on H&H last year
Not seen him in about 30 years played in same team and had trial at same day with him at clyde. Great in the air for a wee guy and didn't lose many 50/50s.

Was he part-time with Clyde and working at Motherwell Bridge when we signed him?
His commentary in that entire game was mindboggling.

Tommy was actually a Holytown boy and was part of the Holytown colts team who beat Celtic Boys club in the final of the Scottish Cup 40 years ago. All the lads in that team were pupils at Holytown's two primary schools. A remarkable achievement at the time.
He didn't work in Motherwell Bridge he was actually an apprentice with British steel at the Clydesdale tube works at Mossend.
Ask him about that Holytown colts team. That will really be a blast from the past.

He was an apprentice alongside my step dad at the tube works. The only tenuous link I ever had to a current rangers player at the time
