    Raith Rovers v Hibernian 1952 footage

    http://www.britishpathe.com/record.php?id=29657

    How would the modern players cope with those kind of pitch conditions and a heavy leather ball. Imagine a fair few would really struggle. Especially the ones who have to wear gloves.

    The days of when men were men.

    Many many thanks for that great footage !!
    Never seen that before
    Was in my second year playing senior football at that time so it was pure nostalgia for me - "PURE DEAD BRILLIANT"
    Also saw rare footage of one of the most underated right backs ever - Jock Govan who was a great guy too

    Thanks again !!!!!!!!

    No. Another disappointing and underachieving season. Only the league flag that year.

    You better believe it !
    Remember Ledgerwood the Partick Thistle goalie getting five stitches in his knuckles when he punched the lace!!
    Cut eyebrows split heads were common yet Gordon Smith could run down the wing keeping the ball up by heading it !!
    Boots , too, were heavy as hell you could have worn them down a coal mine !!!

    No sound but amazing footage. Tam McCourt looks like he's trying to run Gordon Smith over

    That is very funny. It would be amusing to do a spoof black and white piece with today's team - Yogi chasing the young lads about the dressing room, Riordan and Stokes waiting outside the manager's office for a "carpeting" etc etc.

    No kidding, Younger was spilling balls that Maka would have held. Maka back in for Saturday.

    Ian Murray playing at Number 2 was a bit clumsy. I lost count of the number of times that slack passing cost us possession. What did these boys used to do at East Mains all week? Final ball was lacking and it was all we could do to prevent ourselves from being turned over by a much smaller club.

    The fans are clearly to blame.

    Starks Park in the dead of winter. In 1947 a furniture van in front of our house was completely covered with snow. But the sheer joy of being a boy in these days cannot be hidden when every team in the First Division were in with a shout for every trophy. There is even a brief moment in one of the clips of the police telling kids to get their knees to the right side of the wall. And the crowds! It doesn't mention that at least a third of us had been lifted over.

    Ahh! Happy Days

    Starks Park was my first away trip outside Edinburgh.Cup match 1954 or 55 we got beaten 3-1.Team travelled in the same train as the supporters so they got pelters back at the station.

    Absolute murder.

    They felt like they had a serated edge on one side. You'd go to head it and have to be rushed to casulty with a fractured skull.

    I think there are other distractions nowadays. At that time there was bog all else to do but put on your best suit and pop along to the match with a half bottle of Old Parr in your pocket.
