buddiecat Posted October 25, 2013 Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 Wilson Humphries' sister taught me Latin at Camphill in the early 60's. 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. was that vic kerr ?

I remember it well. We passed the wee barrel after the game. One of my deserter mates asked what the final score was and they didnt believe me. Edited to add. I didn't believe me either and I witnessed it all unfold. I also have the programme from the day.

Griff Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 going by the Saint team, Aber must have not just been wearing the number 3 shirt but also actually playing left back. I don't recall if that was a regular happening or not. Fantastic team though and what a cuffing to give Rangers. Aber often played left back before Stevie Clarke . Bearing in mind from during the early eighties , we had Stark Fitzpatrick , Richardson and Weir / Scanlon as a fourman midfield,it was quite difficult for Aber to be included in the midfield , With McDougall ,Mc Avennie ,Bone and Somner fighting it out for the two striking positions , Jimmy Bone often dropped into an attacking midfield role just behind the main strikers , making it even harder for Aber to get a game. During the early eighties Aber was one of those players that wasn,t a first team choice ,but always managed 25 games a season either coming off the bench or filling in for injuries and suspensions. Also worth bearing in mind was that Saints had McCormack Copeland and Fulton fighting for the two central defence positions , and quite often Cowboy would be pushed into the midfield. Saints weakness during this time was the full back positions where we had Young and Beckett , who were not bad ,but if they got injured there was no coer , so we would often see Cowboy and Aber in these positions if it meant getting the best eleven players on the park.

Griff Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 Just remembered that Fitzpatrick came in as Weir left , so forget about Weir being part of that midfield. That team of the early eighties is probably my favoutrie Saints team , especially when Tommy Wilson and Stevie Clarke arrived on the scene.

Once Stevie Clarke came in,he stayed in. He only played left back for 1 season as Tommy Wilson was the right back. Once Wilson got done in by Dawson at Ibrox on the opening day that Clarke moved over to his natural position on the right. Then he played sweeper the following season and before he left getting regular run outs in midfield where he was running the show. A game against Celtic at Parkdead stands out. Left back was a problem since Munro left as various players played there Aber,McAveety,Hamilton,Winnie,D Walker and Beckett. Only until Tam Black was signed we had a regular left back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
