merlin Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 It IS David Craig and the Man C player is Joe Royle. The stand behind them is the East Stand and it IS the Gallowgate goal that Craig is defending. Craig was RB in the side that won the FA Youth Cup in 1962, promotion in 65 and the Fairs Cup in 69. He was an Ulsterman and his illustrious colleague, George Best, thought he was one of his toughest opponents. A fine player who scored our equalizer in the first FA Cup game with Forest in 1974(the pitch invasion one). We were lucky, we had Irving Nattrass coming through to replace him and Alan Kennedy replaced Frank Clark - it was CD that was our weakness after Bobby Moncur past his best in 74 and we never successfully replaced him and Ollie Burton, the mainstays of the Fairs Cup side(with John McNamee).

cp40 Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 It is David Craig! note the standing crowd at the front of the east stand. It's the Milburn stand in the background. ;D fail Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cp40 Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 I know its theEast stand, because it stands there on the east, where the east stand is , opposite the west stand paddocks, the view i used to get from the paddock facing the east stand which that is. and all the other reasons above.

Guest johnson293 Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 Joe Royle played for City until Nov 1977, if that helps date the pic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the strip the side wore during Gordon Lee's time as manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 It is David Craig as mentioned and our keeper is Mick Mahoney, the game is almost certainly our 1975/76 FA Cup 4th round tie which we lost 1-3. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MKSC Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 i had that bukta kit as a handmedown when i was a kid, probably around 88-90ish i think. wish i'd kept the thing cos i'd make a fucking killing on ebay now, well i'd have hoped to but nee bugger bid on the yellow 90-93 away shirt w/out sponsor that i tried to sell the other week If it was in my size I would have bid on it. I have a bit of a thing for footy shirts on ebay, particularly old newcastle ones. Finally got the Grandad collar mid 90's home shirt after being outbid on them for the last few months. Now I want the marron and blue hoops away shirt and that old yellow away with the green flashes. I had them all as a kid but obviously they are long since lost and would be a bit snug these days even if I had them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
