I was recently given a couple of old original photos as a gift from a neighbour who used to be the team photographer. One from the mid 80's and one from the mid 90s. Wondering if someone can help me pinpoint the exact years and put names to the faces? Thanks in advance.

I'd guess 86 and 94.
It's bedtime so the players will need to wait until later.

First one is 1984-5 season as Macca is still there.

Second one is 1994

From the sublime to the ridiculous in the 94/95 photo......Bubbles and Alec Bone in the same team!!!

Couldnae fault wee Alex's effort. Was just unlucky with us and the fact his uncle was Manager didnae help.

Scored plenty goals at nearly every other Club he was at.

Didnae worry about hairstyle or jessieboots.

[farmer john]

with a bit of thought I could name nearly all of the first one (Franks Wonky Legs says 84/85 but was Jarvie still playing then?)
But I would only get a few in the 94/95 picture

The '95 pic rings a few bells. I was only 7 though. Faces I recognise (not in order) are: Bubles, Bone, Heatherston(?) Baker, McLaughlin, McWhirter, Scrimi, Money, Combe, Gilles, Lavety and Dick(?).

I think that's who they are.

Just to add: You'd think they would have found a strip to fit the wee lad at the bottom left.

’94 -'95 Pic .... a few to get started....

Top Row (left to right):
Fullarton, ?, Dick, ? Lavety, Combe, Taylor, Baker, MacIntyre, Dawson, ?

Middle Row:
Elliott, Heatherston, Prentice, ? Scrimgour, McLaughlin, ? Money, ?, ?, Archdeacon, Hewitt

Bottom Row:
McGrotty, McDowall, Bone, McWhirter, Bone, ? Gillies, Binning (Physio), ?

The 95 pic, first cnut in the middle row.

That's how clean his strip was after 90 minutes.

Is that Gardner between Fullarton and Dick ?

I could be wrong but was heatherston no a bit mental? I remember going to watch Saints away to Hamilton and Hamilton were up 1-0 and some wee jessie from them dropped to the ground claiming cramp to waste time and Hatherston walked over like he was gona help and rther than stretch the guys leg, he pulled him aff the pitch. My memory may have made more of this but was genuinley funny....

I remember something like that but think it might have been Stuart Taylor - away to Hamilton at Cliftonhill.

I think the first picture is from around 1984

I think it's Kenny Gillies back right

[Stuart Dickson]

For the top photo I’ve got
Back Row – Neil Cooper, ?, Mark Fulton, ? , Jim Stewart, Campbell Money, David Winnie, ? , Jim Rooney, Stevie Clarke
Middle Row – Martin Ferguson, ? , Iain Scanlon, Gary Peebles, Derek Hamilton, Fraser Campbell, Rowan Alexander, Brian Gallagher, Drew Jarvie, ? , Bobby Holmes
Front Row - ?, ? , Billy Abercrombie, Gardner Spiers, Tony Fitzpatrick, Peter Mackie, Ian Cameron, Tommy Wilson, Frank McAvennie and Alex Miller.

I’m tempted to say that the guy between Fulton and Stewart looks very much like Barry McLaughlin but surely that would have been before his time and that the player to the left of Billy Abercrombie may be Alan Logan but I’m not sure.

My best guess at a date would be 84. Miller would have just punted Billy Thomson and was probably just about to push Mark Fulton out of the door too.

Oh f**k, there's 2 of them.

[shull]

To be fair, at that time Ricky Gillies was a fantastic player with superb potential.
Shame he played in a team with a lot of shite players like Dawson, McIntyre, Elliot, Fullarton, Combe and a few more.

Peebles and Rooney the other way about? 1984 will be the year as this was Miller's first full season as boss.

That probably will be Alan Logan as it wasn't long after that he went to Thistle with McDowall coming in exchange.
