Mrs.Kerr was her name and her husband was a minister in Kilbarchan. If Wilson had been half as scary as his big sister he would have been twice the player he was.

shull Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 I knew Humphries was our Manager and didnae have much success. There was a guy at Love Street, who stood near me on the terracing who certainly wisnae keen on Wilson. I think the guy's name was Billy, although i cannae be sure.

I travelled on a bus from the Bull Inn that left at about closing time on the Tuesday night. Just as the bus was getting ready to leave a guy turned up that may have been newly released from "Her Majesty's Pleasure" (that was the story on the bus anyway) and he didn't have a passport. If my memory serves me correctly we killed time at the port waiting to board the ferry while he went to the Post Office to get a new temporary one. Crossed the Channel and stayed in France until about 4.30 before heading off to Belgium and with about 30 miles to go to Mechelen the bus stopped and was boarded by Police with guns and big dugs ( we were the first British club to play in Belgium after Heysel) for the remainder of the journey. We got bussed right in to the stadium where and got shepherded into a metal stand behind the goals before being entertained by a local marching band who, when they got to our end, started playing "Oh When the Saints" and the party started. A creditable 0-0 draw before seeing our hopes dashed by defeat at Love St to the eventual winners of the Cup Winners Cup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was like a newspaper i remember. It was 90 mins of singing and chanting and the locals apaulded us after the game shouting bravo. Then after the game trawling the clubs and pubs in Liege even ended up in a gay bar but that was Santaponsa and Skoda fault Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A creditable 0-0 draw before seeing our hopes dashed by defeat at Love St to the eventual winners of the Cup Winners Cup You're right that was a great trip. I feel very privileged to have seen Saints away from home in Europe, even moreso because of the praise we got for our behaviour after the above highlighted fact. And it was the Belgian Government not just their football association that said we were a credit to club & country. Met some great guys on that trip and I'm still friendly with them, however my abiding memory is Jersey Saint's eternal bellowing of his catch phrase "Shoe's yer baws!!!". Ah, great days.
