I'd like that sky blue trim on a future top.

Wee nod to the Tornado's.

Not a bad shout. Think we were the 1st team ever to play under the name Dallas Tornado.

Last match we played in the USA we beat Juventus 1-0.

Playing in Tangerine is a big part of our fitba culture and identity and might never have happened if we hadn't beaten Barcelona in 1966 which resulted in the invite I think.

Edit to say-

To then beat Barca later whilst wearing the Tangerine makes the factor go full fkn circle in a very unique style.

Hard to imagine mixed unsegregated crowds these days. Surprised it took until then...

Not sure where Jim and Wattie the turncoat were off to here but considering it was in a Cessna it must of being somewhere off the beaten track.

Henry Hall was my PE teacher for a time, an ok guy for a jimmie. Alex Rennie lived up the road in Carronshore, and had a driving school after his football career. Sadly, he died earlier this year.

Frankie Kopel too was from the area local to me, but I think he had relocated to Angus in the later part of his life.

I was at Whitfield high in the early eighties, if memory serves me well he was managing Brechin at the time.

Here's a puzzle: name all the players. I can't.

Has to be a testimonial. Does that not include Willie Miller, Roy Atiken, Tommy McLean and Trevor Brooking?

Can name a few (but not all).

Top row i see Willie Miller, Trevor Brooking and Roy Aitken.

Bottom row i see Pat Jennings (unusually not in a Goalie top), Lisbon Lion Bobby Lennox, our old Manager Tommy McLean and Andy Rolland (who's testimonial i'm guessing it was?).

Another couple of faces i feel like i should know and are on the tip of my tongue.

Where did you see that pic Pat?

Beharder · 14/11/2018 7:47 pm

My eyes are not what they used to be but dont think its Trevor Brooking or Pat Jenni gs.
I do see ex Dundee keeper Ally Donaldson
and what looks like Pat Gardner back left.

Tannadice1968 · 14/11/2018 7:59 pm

Think the goalie is ally Donaldson the Dundee goalie who wee jim liked and eventually done a bit of coaching for us

Tannadice1968 · 14/11/2018 8:00 pm

Also think that’s paddy gardiner and Doug Smith in front of him

Tek · 14/11/2018 8:18 pm

Looking again i am now myself doubting that's Trevor Brooking.

Is it Bobby Gould?

Trap_6 · 14/11/2018 8:19 pm

Interesting wee video about our time as the Tornado.
