December 13, 20232 yr Looking to see if anyone has any photos of the 86/87 coaching team? My Dad back left was part of the coaching team but I don’t have many photos, the only one left out the mural too. Just wondering if anyone has any photos from this era? He passed away a few years ago and was trying to hunt down some photos.
December 13, 20232 yr There are some good buddies who collect various memorabilia that it would be worth reaching out to. I would suggest you try Jack Paterson at Black&White magazine. He might be interested in running a story for the magazine about your dad’s involvement. [email protected] If anyone has any photos Jack will likely be a good first place to start. Good luck.
December 13, 20232 yr @GB77 I bet your dad had some tremendous stories to tell about that dressing room. 😂 Sorry to read of his passing.

December 13, 20232 yr So the guy on the right is Archie Rose , Archie played most his career at Stenhousemuir and holds the record for league appearances for Stenhousemuir . Think he might have even been Stenhousemuirs manager when Saints appointed him as a coach . He used to be my boss and would give me the odd Saints story . Good guy .
December 13, 20232 yr Back Row, middle right was Bobby Holmes the physio, I think he broke his leg just before the 1959 final which finished his career and missed out playing in it. Was a member of Meikleriggs bowling club and I think ferguslie cricket club for many years.
December 13, 20232 yr And Bobby Holmes was my boss (of the section in an office job) for a few months in Pressed Steel. A really decent man. 91 now. In 1955, in his prime… … with (I think) Tommy Gemmell as back up, there.

December 13, 20232 yr Author My old man was John Brown, not much of playing career although was with WBA and Morton for a short spell, never made it though, was a coach from an early age with Partick Thistle end then most of his life in the Juniors. Coached Neilston Juniors, Johnstone Burgh and was with Dickie Brock at Pollok, Largs & Scotland. Remember the night I answered the phone and it was Alex Smith asking for him to join him at St Mirren. Spent many times at love street with him.

From that I was walking behind a limping Peter Godfrey a couple of years ago and I suggested he consulted Bobby to sort it out. He turned around and laughed and told me how Bobby had broken I believe a few ribs of someone he was treating. [emoji1787]
