He done it up over here, him and his 3 boys took it over on the overnight ferry from Jersey to Portsmouth and drove it up to Paisley. Hes got loads of photos from the trip, and he was getting some reaction driving up the M6 North. He only paid £400 for the old banger ( No MOT’s in Jersey ) think he tried to auction it off for charity after the game, I believe there was no takers so he scrapped it and flew back to Jersey Edited February 6, 2018 by Jimmy H 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Took part in the one on the day George Best played for Hibs against us. Was that his debut? Looked decidely fat. Still had the brain and the skill though. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was rumoured, and generally accepted that he was half pissed when he arrived at Love Street. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think he ever played for Scotland and he certainly did not play against Zico and Socrates in the Maracana in 1980! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TPAFKA Jersey 2 4,275 Report post Posted February 9, 2018 The first time I saw Yards play was when I came up for a week and went to a couple of away games. Cannae mind the year. The first was a midweek game at Broadwood. Cannae mind if it was against Clyde or Airdrie (I think Airdrie). We won 3-1 and Yards had a brilliant game. On that performance alone I’d have described him as a lanky winger who was good with the ball at his feet. We followed it up with a 2-1 win away at Dundee. Jamie Fullerton put us one up with a belter. Chic Charnley equalised direct from a free kick that he took early when no one was looking. The cocky bassturt lapped it right up to the saints fans in the stand. Then one of our young subs (James McGowan???) charged down the Dundee keeper’s clearance and scored to win the game. Charnley then got subbed and had to do the walk of shame into the stand getting absolute pelters from the saints fans. Happy days. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cannae believe that was 22 years ago! Funny how I remember such things so vividly but when my Mrs sends me upstairs to get something, by the time I get there I’ve forgotten what she wanted. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
