Someone posted a link to this on Pie and Bovril.
I didn’t know this footage existed.
Muirton Park, Perth, October 7th, 1972. St Johnstone 0-2 Dumbarton. Sons first win in the top division since 1922.
I was there!
Muirton Park is long since gone and is now the site of an ASDA store.
Long gone too are Sons’ chances of a place in the top flight. Money – or its chasing by the “big” clubs – put paid to that.
