Morris Stevenson at first. Then big Andy signed. Both great players,but Ritchie was the best.

George Anderson loved having players who left no prisoners and allowed our flair players to focus on what they were best - no surprises when I add I was a big fan of Bobby Thomson and Tommy Hutchison

[Roger McQueen]

Joe McLaughlin was a great player and John McNeil.

David Wylie and Derek McInnes are the standouts from my early memories of going to Morton games. Lindberg and Rajamaki soon after.

Alex Williams and Peter Weatherson 

Special mention to Emilio Bottilgeri, no idea if he was any good but I loved him!

My two memories of Mel were his screamer from the wing against Gretna and seeing him getting absolutely stuck into the post-match sandwiches in the Keith social club in the Highland Tour.

Peter Weatherson. Can remember him coming into St Gabriels when I was maybe p4/5. Also, can't miss Bambi, especially given its the anniversary of his swording of Killie.

Did he score a belter against Deveronvale as well?

Lief Nielson was another favorite of mine.

I always remember when growing up and having a kick about with my pals, when we had a game of "crossie in" etc we'd all pick a player to be as 10 year olds did at the time. All my pals were rushing to pick Pele or Eusebio.

I was always Joe Mason or when it was my turn to be in goal I was Lief. 

Happy times.
