I'm the young dashing figure on the right with the trendy purple flares outside the Park End stand turnstiles.
I think this was 1975, which would make me 14 at the time. Taking the picture would have been "Me Ma" who sat on the front row above the score board for years and years.

You can make her out here above the T from that famous game. She was daft as a brush. She used to turn up for games about 12-12.30 so she could be the first into the ground and would shout to all the players as they walked in from the corner of bullens rd. They all came to know her and would wave and shout back.
When I was old enough I was allowed to go with by big brother Mike and his mates to the Gwaldys st end. The ritual was meeting up in the Winslow for a few snakebites. The banter was brilliant. About 2.45 we go into the ground and make our way to the middle, halfway up where the middle post was. Mike who was known as Devo would climb up the post hanging on to the drainpipe and try and get the singing going like some sort of demented conductor. I was happy to just sway with the crowd below.

I can't make out if that's him in the light top but that's were he would stand. He was a madman as well. I felt sorry for my poor Dad having to put up with all this.
Great times though.
