One for the older viewers..who remembers this? Beechnut chewing gum - quite brittle stuff if I correctly recall ?

I remember getting a rosette on the way to tinecastle for the 2-1 Scottish cup win in 1971 I think it was

Wagon wheels, kiora juice and on more than one occassion the players forming a huddle to protect the modesty of a player who needs to change his shorts midway through a match. Or did I dream that?

They would probably be greeted with the same disdain as vuvuzelas. Would beat the guy a few rows behind me yesterday that went through a cycle of "****ing terrible" "****ing awful" "****ing jambo" and "booooooooo". Bit disappointed it wasn't "****ing boooooooooooo"

The magic sponge. Trainer running on the pitch with said sponge and bucket of cold water, a quick application cured everything, broken legs, snapped achilles, laddered stocking the lot.

I will never forget Jubbly's, triangular frozen orange juice that seemed to last forever, but many a sore head eating them.

Yes! Had forgotten about those too. Loved a jubbly! The juice left at the end was the best bit

Golden Goal tickets - Can’t remember if was first or last goal, or if it was a Hibs goal or either side to scoop the prize.

Saw these for sale in a Motherwell Londis in the summer. We all chose ice poles.
Pies and kiaora were all I remember from the old East. The pink nylon blazers with the trays walking round the ground with natty white Thunderbirds hats were baffling though.

The wee light blue, three wheeled invalid cars that used to park behind the goals at some grounds.

And Arrowmint and PK. I think that PK was named after the inventor?

The ‘plain clothed’ coppers who used to stand among the crowd near the top of the cowshed hoping to catch hooligans.

Problem was, rather than blending in with the crowd, they stood out like a sore thumb and it wasn’t long before an empty circle formed around them as the fans moved a couple of yards away from them!

Hmm, in those days a smart haircut and sheepskin coat did nothing for blending in. I was at a Scottish Cup game at Firhill in the seventies when they lifted what appeared to me to be an innocent guy that put me off the bizzies. Then my wee brother joined them!
