Right troops for a bit of fun (by God I think we need it)
From the 1972 European cup winning team who did you get to watch at Ibrox from that team?
Then others try to guess your age.
Its ma baw, so I will start.
P. McCloy.
S. Jardine.
J. Greig.
D. Johnstone.
T. McLean.
A. Conn.
A. MacDonald.
W. Johnston.
If you didn't see any of them. Its gona be a lot harder to guess your age.
Winner to guess the age gets a Mataboobo.

All above including parlane and stein. I was a wean though so it's a bit hazy.
14 Nov 2025 01:55:53
Not a single one horse.
Closest I got to that was video and dvd mate.
Dor me sandy jardine was the greatest of that team for longevity ability and his achievements zz
I know greig gets it for being captain but I think jardine is the greatest player from that team mate
I think greatest ever player was Gough.

Good question. Saw them all mate but Conn no much really and WJ only remember on return to gers. Remember him blowing like fk as he ran down wing!

I'm keeping my age a secret because after spending nearly half a century on this planet i have found that's the best way.
14 Nov 2025 07:02:25
Seen all of them. Although I was still in single digits.
14 Nov 2025 07:27:25

All of them White Horse when I was young, then was fortunate to become good friends with one of them not on your list who is sadly not with us now.
14 Nov 2025 08:14:44
McCloy and Jardine.
Think it was Jardines testimonial I went to. maybe.
14 Nov 2025 08:39:09
All of them and still play bowls occasionally against Colin Stein, went every home Cup Winners Cup game that year and was right behind Johnston when he sat on the ball as we ripped Bayern Munich apart. heady days 90+k and the same at Parkhead on the same night as Celtic went out on penalties.
Our bus stopped on the mate at Provan Gasworks to listen to their penalties on the radio, Dixie Dean's made my night complete. memories eh!

Wullie Mathison, Dave Smith, Colin Stein, Jim Denny.

Are you guessing ages? Didn't know wtf. Well I'm 55, first game saw father took me v. Killie Ibrox. Gers won 4-0. I was 6. True blue since 4, because father true blue and would only allow gers talk in house. As said, remember Conn briefly. Saw lot late great S. Jardine. Did gers buy him replace Conn? Don't remember. Team watched growing up
McCloy
Jardine
Grieg
Forsythia

14 Nov 2025 09:29:48
Only one I saw in the flesh was P McCloy.
14 Nov 2025 09:37:40
Never seen A Conn but all the rest great team blue blooded players in those days. Remember going to Ibrox when they paraded the cup winners cup with my dad. The players were on the back of a coal lorry good memories.
14 Nov 2025 09:38:59
Anyone old enough to remember " ERZA" ringing round Ibrox on a Saturday? Erza macaroon bar.
14 Nov 2025 10:09:39
Same as Windy, apart from Conn, I think.
14 Nov 2025 10:26:44
Seen them all. I was 17 when I went to Barcelona. My auld man was a miner and grew up in the village of Forth. He knew Mr Waddell very well so he sorted him out. That is a night I will never forget
Colin Stein scored 1
Willie Johnston 2
?.
14 Nov 2025 10:41:39
Them all. Became pals with three or four of them later.
14 Nov 2025 10:55:25
It's in the original post MBW, white horse asked us to guess the ages on our posts, apologies thought you were an older distinguished gent??.
14 Nov 2025 10:58:51
Saw them all …. Ibwas at the final! Saw Bobby Shearer, Eric Caldow, Harold Davis, alex Scott … christ I'm old ?.
14 Nov 2025 10:59:07
Never seen any of them but met Davy wilson through another sport he was involved with.
14 Nov 2025 11:16:26
Florida Bear I am amazed. I too was from Forth and my father was also a miner. He worked at Easton Colliery in Bathgate. Most miners in Forth worked at Polkemet Whitburn but also a good number at Easton. I was 14.5 years old at time of Barcelona. Which street in Forth did you stay?
14 Nov 2025 11:45:15
?Fork its hawns.
14 Nov 2025 12:32:53
Lol?????.
14 Nov 2025 12:34:31
Forth? God's Country.
Sports Centre is now named after Mr Waddell.
And there is also a statue / plinth with loads of info about him.
14 Nov 2025 12:46:06
Seen them all and played against a couple a few years later.
14 Nov 2025 12:48:38
I've seen all of them. Big Colin Stein was my idol. Loved the big guy.
14 Nov 2025 13:36:43
All of them plus the others from that team Willie Mathieson, Davie Smith and Colin Stein plus those who missed out due to injury Colin Jackson and Ronnie McKinnon and squad members Gerry Neef, Andy Penman, Willie Henderson, Graeme Fyfe, Jim Denny, Alex Miller Derek Parlane (who was a midfielder in those days) and third keeper Bobby Watson.
I was at every home game in the run up to the final. The semi against Bayern still pretty much the greatest night of my Rangers supporting life.
14 Nov 2025 14:25:25
Saw everyone of them plus Ritchie, Shearer, Caldow, Greig, McKinnon, Baxter Henderson McMillan Millar Brand Wilson.
14 Nov 2025 15:45:46
