Saw this advertised for tonight at 9pm. Looks really interesting for us historians of Scottish fitbaw about Third Lanark FC and their demise. same production company who did the Famous Five I think so should be good.

Alba have produced 3 or 4 top class documentaries about Scottish football. The Famous 5 and Jock Stein programmes immediately spring to mind.

Looking forward to this tonight and will record it. One of the sad stories of Scottish is the demise of Third Lanark. I'm old enough to have visited Cathkin several times following Hibs. Can also remember playing them in a league game at Hampden when repair work was taking place at Cathkin.
Always mean to visit what's left of the stadium but haven't done it yet, must be an eerie feeling.

When I was young, I liked the thought that a team from Lanark had been such a big deal in Scottish football. I could well have been in my teens before I discovered the disappointing truth!
I don’t know much more about them now, so will definitely have a look at this.

Hilley, Harley and Gray. Great forward trio.
Nowhere near the Famous Five but miles better than Conn, Bauld and Wardhaugh from the other side of the city.
Ah, the good old days.........

Harley was a sensation in his only season for City even though they ended up being relegated. He scored 32 goals in all competitions. with City going down he moved to Birmingham City who had been promoted. He did not maintain his form and moved on to Dundee, Portadown, and Cape Town City with little success and was working as a hotel porter when he died in Birmingham aged 33. A very sad situation.
Gray had a decent spell with City while Hilley went to Newcastle United and later Nottingham Forest.
Strangely both Dave Hilley and Matt Gray also ended up playing in South Africa.Last edited by jgl07; 27-01-2018 at 05:53 PM.

I sat in Cathkin Park gutted after the 1-0 semi loss to Falkirk thinking I would never see us win the cup.
Funny how i look back on a bad memory fondly now.

I remember seeing them in the 50s when I started going to games. I was always fascinated by goalkeepers and had a memory of Jockie Robertson being a wee guy who still made a fantastic fingertip save over the bar at ER down the slope. Nice to have my boyhood memory confirmed!
Nowadays, the crook Hiddleston would have less chance of getting away with it. Greater exposure now to what was going on and tougher rules (sometimes adhered to). Can't really think of anyone else who tried to use a football club for dodgy purposes and resorted latterly to dealing in cash

August 1963 and I saw young Jimmy O'Rourke score with a header in a 3-0 win at ER.
Playing for Thirds, Joe Davis at left back and on the left wing Ally Mcleod, who was part-time while he worked as an analytical chemist.
No thoughts of Argentina then!

Thoroughly enjoyable piece apart from the sad story it portrays. Did Scotland and England ever play each other there when it was Hampden Park 2?

Walked across it with my 2 sons and Peter Cormack and his son and Grandson before our famous Scottish Cup Final Day. He was telling us about the times he scored on that pitch many years before! Is a hidden gem of Scottish football and amazing to see.
