    I like these two pics. They capture that era brilliantly when everyone got boozed up at the game.

    Here's an image that should make you proud to be a Glaswegian and make the throat swell with pride.

    This looks like Cathkin the home of Thirdlanark but it's actually Hampden.

    The wee kiosk on Cartvale Road, just off Battlefield Avenue.
    All I can remember ever buying out of it, are Ice poles for 5p, and 20p fishing nets.

    Slim Jim's just across from The Old Toll Bar. Sir Alex had one across the road "Fergies" if memory serves me right?

    Ma Da used to leave me waiting outside while he nipped in for a pint before heading to the match. I can still remember Jim Baxter giving me a wee wink and the thumbs up. <ok>

    Boots Corner or Dizzy Corner to give it's proper name. This is where you arranged to meet a bird that more often than not failed to show. Hence the term "Dizzy".... a disappointment. <doh>

    Think this is where it once stood...

    I forgot about my wee Govan Poem <wah>


    Where is the Govan I once called home
    The grimy old Govan I used to roam?
    Where are the streets I roved on my bike
    And the dirty wee weans that all looked alike.

    Where is the Lyceum, Plaza, Elder and Vogue
    Where we cheered the hero and booed the rogue.
    And where are the bookies and all of their mugs
    Who lost on the horses and then on the dugs.

    Where are the middens, the dunnie, the pen,
    The gaslit closes we winched in back then.
    And where are the lassies, good God above
    Where are the ones that I used to love.

    And what of the fruit shops, Brown's and McLoy
    Where I used to steal tatties when I was a boy.
    Oh where are the shipyards along Govan Road
    Worked in by craftsmen, and man, how it showed.

    For their work was stamped "Built on the Clyde"
    And they launched each ship with justified pride.
    Aye, where are the friends of my long ago past
    Whose friendship was meant to last and last.

    Oh, they are all here still, we are never apart
    For they are with me forever, deep in my heart.
