THE Iconic Killie Picture Thread!

Recommended Posts

I made the mistake of watching a documentary about Rangers winning the ECWC in 1972 on Amazon Prime.

If you believed it, Willie Waddell did nothing between playing and going into the Scottish Daily Express!

And Tommy McLean was, along with Conn and Denny, one of the living players who didn’t take part, even in recreating a team group.

I don’t know if he was ill or indisposed but good for him if he wasn’t.

Jim Denny is a really nice guy, he came down for Joe Mason’s funeral!

Cheerio, 10 in a row.

That was a great day.

I drove up and down Edmiston Drive - just to see the dejected expressions on the Rangers fans' faces.

It had been made even more enjoyable after bumping into a Rangers fan that I knew on my way towards the Stadium and being asked "Well, what do you think today; four, five or six nil for Rangers?"

A wonderful day!

He didn't play in the 1953 "Birth of the Busby Babes" match to inaugurate the RP floodlights but I came across this picture of Sir Bobby Charlton training before the Scotland - England match 1960.

Good view of the old stand.

Here's the programme advertising the United match. Not much notice for such a prestigious friendly!

No programme was produced for the match itself.

The United team was Crompton, McNulty, Byrne, Gibson, Chilton, Cockburn (Edwards), Berry, Blanchflower, Taylor, Viollet and McShane. United won 3-0.

Byrne, Taylor and Edwards perished as a result of the Munich air disaster. Blanchflower and Berry survived but their injuries were career-ending.

Kilmarnock v Man Utd 1953-4 

Another picture I've never come across before of PE teacher George Maxwell and his pupil/ team-mate Gordon Smith.

How times have changed! Jackie McInally enjoys a ciggy while signing autographs for two lads but not, I assume, for the sheep mascot!
