Caley Stand burnt down in ?
Thank you, Charles, for reminding me of that date because now I know I was 12 years old as I looked out the back upper windows of my former home at 46 Dunain Road and looked across Howden's nursery, wondering what on earth was going on there as the smoke billowed up and over the stand.
Bobby Bolt-- Ah! Toothless Bobby , tanned to the max with sweat pouring down his bronzed face. His son, Bobby I think, also played a couple of games for the Caley but never seemed to make it big.
And Rangers' Willie Woodburn, probably regarded as one of the dirtiest players in the League at that time. Eventually he was suspended Sine Die (for life) for a particularly vicious foul I suppose. I did see him once playing at Ibrox in the flesh so to speak and, yes, he did go for the man and most seemed to just crumple in a writhing heap because it was usually not expected.
Aye, IHE , them were the days .Fond enough memories of a wee boy advancing into his teens and beyond. Left Inverness at about age 18 to do 2 years National Service and never returned to stay there. Never know what's ahead of you, do you?
