How appropriate the timing of this photo. On Thursday it will be 60 years since Davie Lapsley stood on that balcony and held up the Scottish Cup to show the hundreds including myself in County Square who celebrating our Scottish Cup victory.

Shetland- your teasing us- any more details why Billy Thomson was chased out.?

Johnny Rep, exactly my first thoughts when I saw the photo but it was nicknamed Fudgy, Hudgie and Budgie. They were on both sides of Renfrew Road. Passed it to get to Love Street over Footbridge in Abercorn Street. Keep photos coming.

Won't be missed. I think there is a bit of ability there but we don't have "time" for him to decide to turn up. Against Dundee he lost all interest when he lost the ball.

The big match. Pretty accurate summing up in my opinion. Getting a bit fed up with the unsporting behaviour that has crept into the game. Newest trick from Dundee goalkeeper taking the goal kick from outside the area. Team one up and in the end only benefit was to waste time and not penalised. That to me is cheating, could and should have been booked. What is the advantage of placing the ball outside the arc at a corner? What "tricks" will Brown have up his sleeve on Wednesday?

Well done Rabuddies, From what I can remember, the town hall was so much "posher". I may also be wrong but i don't think it was the South Minor since you entered to the left of the main door. I warmed your seat, just. Desperately Seeking, you are correct, any Tom, Dick and even me could be fed in either of the canteens.

I think "Glasgow's" the Pram Shop was just after Galbraiths in Cotton Street?

Wonderful photos and information about Paisley Theatres. I remember being taken to see Syncopating Sandy at Paisley Theatre. He is reputed to have played the piano for 133 hours in 1956. It was not in Paisley so I guess he came as the " World Champion" around 1957ish. I can remember walking down the one side of the theatre along the front and up the other side and out. Gerry Rafferty has a song about him.

St Ricky, our manager at the AGM on Tuesday identified the Hibs winger as the big danger due to his speed. He seems according to you to have been spot on.

Not a lot of homework done on the article "in the centre of Paisley" I don't think so. Antrim, the Tannery is in Bridge of Weir.

What about Dave Walker, Scottish Cup winner or colourful Jimmy Brown etc etc and back to subject Samson correct to accept what in his judgement will improve his standard of living. As any sensible person would. Forget having a " contract" . As we continue to read football is different from any other business and that is certainly true when it comes to contracts. Clubs continually sell players before the players contracts are completed.

Vandal!!!!

You swine it was mine. It had my name on it so give me it back but then again don't since you will drop me in it because we used to tee of from the 5th at 8.30 on a Sunday since the local rule was no teeing off before I think it was 9.30. Remember coming down the 18th one Sunday and hundreds at the first tee. The course was closed for us yins so a quick exit via Newton Avenue . Long walk back to car parked at baths. Aye these were the days.

Car registration numbers with ?GA followed by numbers were registered in Glasgow and from Paisley they were XS followed by numbers. Was the Job Centre and Menzies Distribution not in Hunter Street and "whydowebothwer" don't forget Alexanders Sports Shop and Bryces TV shop. Also in Moss Street was the TSB and Glovers the Newsagent. I wish I had a Pound for every time I went up and down the path from Moss Street to School Wynd.

59er. 're third awning in Gauze Street. Don't remember a Galbraiths but it could have been Menzies the Ham Curer and general grocery. I was sent there on a Saturday to get the Wiltshire back bacon. I am pretty sure the shop is now the cafe Bianca Nero.

Wonderful photos. Keep them coming. In a previous photo with the Abbey, could that be Rae the Coal Merchants Lorry and Cunninghams Bus? Re lousy Lager, many moons ago there was a pub just before Kennedys coming from the Cross which if I remember correctly was an Edinburgh Brewers pub and sold Skol. Can you recall the name? The railway network link with so much information brings back memories of my "Anorak Days"

Great news, well done "pod" to find link. Interesting, in the last 5 years 1.6 million has already been spent on the Town Hall. I hope the plans are not to demolish the "upper balcony" . Sang there with the School choir. A these were the days.

Great photo. Was the road opposite the main entrance to Fudgie, Hudgie and Budgie on Renfrew Road also called Great Hamilton Street or was it just Hamilton Street. Used it to go via the footbridge on way to Racecourse and Love Street.

Agree 100%. Andrew Dallas can expect a phone call from Eddie Smith explaining how to invent free kicks when "they" are within 30 yards from goal.

Renfrew - I would suggest there is no chance of the phasing being adjusted. Common sense does not appear to exist. The last time, many weeks ago, I was at that junction heading towards Paisley, the lights were operating as normal despite the fact there was no entry to Cockles Loan, except for access. Needless to say I had time to think about it since I was sitting with the light at red and no local traffic in sight. I am not local but I know there are many ways to gain access without even using that junction. O, the good old days when there was no traffic lights in Renfrew.

O no, how do I cancel my vote for Fitzpatrick way.

Been told Alamo only closed temporary.

Is there a date for the AGM?

Please stop calling him a legend - that he was not. Couple of definitions of legend are megastar, celebrity, and he was not any of these. No fault of his. Unable to understand why the managers he played under did not have him replaced. IMO these centre half's Willie Telfer, Norrie McWhirter and Mark Fulton are closer to legends not to forget the SCOTTISH CUP teams of 1957 and 1989 and even 1926. Mutual agreement as far as I know normally means there has been a financial settlement. Two months to go receive one months wages!. Not bad price for failure.
