His first goal came against Anderlecht at Easter Road.
Dunno absolutely nuts from the ginger Hun but let’s enjoy this againQuote:

Humphrey Rudge. Outstanding in the "you're not unbeatable" derby. No memory of him whatsoever besides that match. And what a name...
He was a better drummer than Copeland. And got on with the weird geordie lead singer better n’awQuote:

If memory serves his legs were believed to be falling apart. He had no cartilage in one of his knees and even failed medicals because of it.Quote:

As a team I think Turnbull's Tornadoes didn't play an awful lot of games together as the full team, maybe 30-40 due to injuries and suspension, Joe Harper signing and ET making changes. Is there anyone that can confirm that one way or other.
Pretty sure the Tornadoes only played 22 games together as Brownlie was out injured for a few months and Edwards got a hefty suspension?Quote:

A wee bit less than I thought but I knew it wasn't Sure Jim Herriot got dropped after the Hadjuk Split game and they never collectively started a match again.Quote:

Nikklas Gunnarson perhaps falls into an underrated category. He came on as a sub. Looked the part against huns when he scored into the in a game we beat the league 3-2 at easter road.
And many others from Celtic Supporters Clubs 🤣Quote:

Worth every penny :greengrin

From a personal point of view growing up as a schoolboy in the sixties I was totally devastated when Colin Colin Stein left us to join the dark side for the then Queen’s ransom of £100k
I need not have worried we signed Joe McBride Snr a natural goalscorer from Celtic who made us forget all about Stein scoring a hat-trick against Lokomotiv Leipzig in his home debut and scoring all types of goals for us but was always in the right place at the right time with a true strikers instinct and could also score goals out of nothing the highlight being a half volley on the edge of the box against Celtic at ER in a 2-0 win after previously opening the scoring
He would go on to score 58:91 and left when he refused Tom Hart’s request to relocate to Edinburgh from Glasgow
