Colin Wilson says, "I think the season was 1975/76 and my good pal Scott Donnan, also pictured, adds the following vital contextual information...... 'That year - I think it was 76 - we were runners up in the league (John Hosie's old man's head butt at the deciding game with 83rd), runners up in COBA cup and semi finalists in the Glasgow Cup. I (Scott) was in the team which won the 5-a-sides."
