Dundonian Davie Watson found a picture of a football team on an old computer.
“It’s a picture of the Butterburn Primary School team of 1957-58, which has been a topic over the last few months regarding a cup final against Rockwell,” said Davie, now resident in Toronto, Canada.
“Since that debate started, I have been in touch with Dave Mahady, who was the Rockie goalie and a team-mate with Butterburn Youth Club.
“Looking at that Rockwell picture — they have a nice strip.
“Then I see our strip!
“Och well, it’s who’s wearing it that counts, eh?”
Unfortunately, the photo was of such low resolution that it couldn’t print.
However, it is worth continuing with Davie’s tale as he mentions several names of his team-mates.
Davie said he couldn’t recall all the names in the photo but he is the player holding the trophy.
He continued: “Other ones I remember are the goalie Benny Broon, Brian Don (right-wing) and Tucker Thom (inside-right).
“There is also left-winger George McKinnon and Albert Hood.”
* Barry Gordon, from Longforgan, wants to know which English football team has won the FA Cup with most Scots in their side.
I don’t think there will be any more than eight — and that’s the amount of Scots who were in Bradford’s side when they won the FA Cup.
It was 1911 and, after a 0-0 draw against Newcastle at Crystal Palace, Bradford beat the Geordies 1-0 at Old Trafford.
Of their team — Mellors; Campbell Taylor; Robinson, Torrance, McDonald; Logan, Spiers, O’Rourke, Devine, Thompson — only Mellors and Robinson were English.
Thompson was an Irish international.
Not surprisingly, Bradford’s manager Peter O’Rourke (no relation to the centre) was also a Scot.
