Thanks Chris brings back some great memories

 

[Suffolk Gills]

On a similar theme it was good to see Peter Beadle on the BBC this afternoon. As manager of Barnet he seems a very decent sort.

He said he scored from a right wing cross. I seem to remember it being from a left wing cross. One of the best Gills memories!

Deffo left wing, from Gooden - "and it is a goo'un". :-)

Strangely it started as a historic search. I was wondering if there ever had been a Queen of the south of Scotland. Then I stumbled on all time great players who played for them.

I think he was getting confused with his right wing cross header V Sheffield Wednesday!

This any help. Dumfries (where QoS play) was called the Queen of the South by a local poet named David Dunbar in a speech in the House of Commons after the general election in 1857. In time it became a nickname of the town. The local team The Wanderers renamed themselves Queen of the South. The were defunct by 1900, but in 1919 they were reformed.

WE called our team at Medway College in 1978 The Queens of The South
it was only meant to be a joke and it wouldn’t happen now.
I await a telling off....
