It should never have happened.
|
As a "west of Scotland" type football fan,albeit of one of the lower league clubs,it was ,when I was very young,a big attraction when "Thirds" were playing locally.It was on a par with the Old Firm,Hibs,Hearts or The Dundee team of the Alan Gilzean era.
Younger fans will not have a clue now just how big and important Thirds were to Scottish football.
Their untimely death was more a shoddy assassination by a businessman and his cohorts,which in this day and age would not have happened.(He wanted to sell the stadium to build houses on.The fact that the overgrown ,but recently tidied up remnants still remain to this day ,untouched due to planning permission denied,shows just what a loss this great Club were to Scottish football).
The fact that Celtic and Rangers were in European finals in the same year as Third's death,sort of took away the importance .
This book brings many memories back into mind about the glory days of the great Third Lanark.
The author is to be congratulated.
