BwB’s recent tales of sporting life at Menzieshill High School prompted one former pupil to get in touch.
“I was one of the team who competed in ‘We Are The Champions’ in the late 1970s,” said Amanda McLeod.
“I was Amanda Scott back then, and competed along with Fiona Gordon, who is still one of my closest friends, and Elizabeth Letford.
“One of the boys was Stuart Cuthill. The other two boys’ names I can’t remember but think one was called Robert.”
* ALLY Fortheringham, of Arbroath, wants to know how many different goalkeepers Scotland used in the late 1960s and throughout the 1970s decade.
“I followed Scotland quite a bit around that time and it always seemed as if we had a different goalkeeper every other match,” said Ally (68), a retired toolmaker.
“Can you list them?”
The first international in 1968 was in February in a 1-1 home draw against England.
Ronnie Simpson was the goalkeeper in that international, and keepers who followed him were Bobby Clark (Aberdeen), Jim Herriot (Birmingham), Tommy Lawrence (Liverpool), Ernie McGarr (Aberdeen), Jim Cruickshank (Hearts), Bob Wilson (Arsenal), Ally Hunter (Kilmarnock), David Harvey (Leeds), Peter McCloy (Rangers), Thomson Allan (Dundee), Stewart Kennedy (Rangers), Jim Brown (Sheffield United).
Alan Rough (Partick Thistle) was first capped in 1976, and was the No 1 custodian for the next three years, with fleeting appearances from David Stewart (Leeds), Jim Blyth (Coventry), Jim Stewart (Middlesbrough), George Wood (Everton).
* CHARLIE Wilson, of Kirkton, Dundee, asks for the names of Danish players Aberdeen signed in the mid-1960s.
“There were at least two, I’m sure, but they didn’t last long at Pittodrie,” he stated.
“What were their names?”
The Dons signed the Danish trio of Lief Mortensen, Jorgen Ravn and Jens Petersen in January 1965.
Mortensen and Ravn were released in May 1966.
Petersen went on to play more than 140 games for the Pittodrie side before joining SK Rapid Wien in Austria in 1970.
