3GAKAS Posted May 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 Thank you Lroy but not sure this line up is correct. Names I have that played were Garry Hay, Peter Camero, Davis Merdy, Freddie Dindeleux and Gus for three minutes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skygod Posted May 14, 2020 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 You would need a team-sheet, I think. The club might be able to help if there was anyone there! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rondo Posted May 15, 2020 Report Share Posted May 15, 2020 I remember going to Gus' testimonial match and thinking what a pitiful attendance - 2,145 - for a guy who was a great servant to our club. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friday night, pre-season, uninspiring opposition - I expect these were all factors. Without checking, I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a substantial number of fringe players and reserves in the Wednesday team. No household names, outside of Simon Donnelly’s hoose. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hadn't Gus already left us for dunfermline? Might have put a few off. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely right; Friday night, Sheffield Wednesday, season not started and as stated at the time: Only 2145 customers bothered to help Gus MacPherson receive a profitable send off from Rugby Park in his testimonial against Sheffield Wednesday. The veteran defender perhaps paid for his close-season defection to Scottish Premier League rivals Dunfermline Athletic having turned down Kilmarnocks offer of a new contract. MacPherson could only play for three minutes of the rather dull 0-0 draw because of injury sustained during his new club Dunfermline’s pre-season trip. Legendary status somewhat soured perhaps? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skygod Posted May 15, 2020 Report Share Posted May 15, 2020 "Kilmarnock's out-of-contract defender Gus MacPherson yesterday ended speculation over his future and signed a three-year deal with Dunfermline. McPherson, 32, revealed that contract negotiations with the Rugby Park club had broken down irreparably after they refused to offer him a pay rise as he entered his testimonial year." telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/4777287/New-signing-is-real-bargain-says-Advocaat.html 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shropshire_killie Posted May 15, 2020 Report Share Posted May 15, 2020 Can anyone recall the pre season friendly with Sheff Weds in the old stadium and got there thinking it would be a s**t crowd and then, lo and behold, there came this singing "I've never felt more like singing the blues........" and a load of Weds fans turned up and it was a great atmosphere 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
