Elderly Owl Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 As I remember (and I'm getting old) Bobby Craig was a little Scot with a bald head unlike Gerry Young (the bloke on the photo who scored 3 against Manchester United after converting from left half to centre forward). I saw Tommy Mac (scored against Blanchflower's Spurs) and Alan Finney, Tony Kay (is that Keith Ellis behind Ron Springett? Didn't he score 3 against Man Utd when Wednesday beat them 7-2 at Old Trafford 62 or '63?), Red Froggatt, Tommy Craig (wonderful player). Is that Ron Shiner (after whom I was named) and I had the cigarette cards of Jimmy Seed and Walter Millership. Some cracking memories in that lot! Many thanks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elderly Owl Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Short crew cut maybe? I was small at the time! Didn’t we get him from Third Lanark ? Stretching the old brain cells a bit there. Is Third Lanark the weirdest name for a football club? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elderly Owl Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Just looked it up! Third Lanark was derived from the Third Lanarkshire Volunteers in 1872! Fascinating history on Wikipedia... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby Craig of Third Lanark played in a Sheffield v Glasgow inter city game at Hillsboro in late 1959. I was there. 1-1 draw. He must have impressed Catterick that night. Third Lanark, as previously explained was short fror 3rd Lanarkshire Rifles. They went bust 1964-5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TommyCraig6 Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Bobby Craig was a fabulous signing by Catterick. I saw his debut at Leeds. We won 3-1. Keith Ellis was fed by Craig and he ran from half way line to put it past Ted Burgin for one of the goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Simpson Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Bobby Craig was truly “ten years ahead of his time”. During that 3-1 win at Leeds...Wednesday had probably the best run I’ve seen. But of course in same side we also had KAY...what a player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
