Had the honour of meeting him a couple of years ago.

I got him to sign a copy of this picture.

" If I'd a pound for every time someone asks me about that picture I'd be a rich man  ! "  he said

For the record. Roy Aiken (No 4 pictured ) and Alex get on really well !

Alex scored in 4 different Cup Finals. Not bad for a midfielder.

May 1984. Kevin Keegan did the honour of playing one of his last games  in Alex MacDonald's testimonial v Rangers

Can't see the picture iposted earlier of Alex MacDoanld and Roy Aitken. So hopefully here it is above !

Chris Woods and Frank McAvennie having 'an exchange of views.

25th June 1982.      Gerry Armstrong went and scored this goal.

They became Northern Ireland Legends, against all the odds on 25th June 1982.

 

Sheer joy as Mario Kempes has just scored for Argentina in the 1978 World Cup Final.

25th June 1978, 42 years ago today !   Where have those years gone ?

My caption !

Mid 1980s I think.

That volley from Marco Van Basten v USSR,

That road in front of the Main Stand was then the  main Glasgow to Greenock road until a decade later and doesn't look very busy !

I think you're right. The roof on the Copland Road was put up in the late sixties. The Main Stand has to be one of the most beautiful in the country. Me being biased again!

And deservedly won that tournament.

Arnold Muhren was a very classy left sided midfieldplayer at Ipswich later and for the Netherlands in that 1988 Euro victory.
