Thought I would sign in again under the new format as my first message
some time ago will be lost in the archives. It's graeat to see so many
people getting in touch through the site and ther are many names from
the past that keep cropping up. Keep up the good work Hugh and if
anyone cares to get in touch with me it will be good to here from them.
Recently attended a Sporstmans Dinner in Masonic Hall and spent a good
bit of the time with an Ardeer Thistle hero, TOMMY DUFFY, (he is still
in the Guinnes Book of Records) of the late 50's and earlt 60's. By the
way Jim Cochrane I don't remember Ardeer Rovers ever beating us!!!
regards Peter.

hi great web page.
I came to NZ from Saltcoats in 1966.I attended Kyleshill, Saltcoats
Public, and Auchinharvie School, leaving in 1951.
I would love to hear from anyone who remembers me.I lived in Quay
St,New England Rd, and Knox Place.
I would especially like to hear from any of my old school friends, or
dancing partners from the 'Town Hall', 'Ardeer Rec','Castlecraigs' etc.
Regards Anne

What a season 1959 - 60 was for Thistle and Tommy Duffy - how many
goals did he end up with, and which Largs Thistle players record did he
surpass?? There's one (or two) for the Scottish quiz!!
The Scottish semi-final at Firhill was unbelievable, 3 up at half time
and cruisin' - and T Duffy had the opportunity just before half time to
wrap it up - but, he didnae play to the whistle, thought he was
offside, and gave the ball up!! Who was that team that then came out in
the second half, scored three to equalise, and went on to win the
replay on the following Wednesday ?? There's anither wan fur ye??
And lastly who beat that team in the final to win the Scottish??
All the best to all you fans.
Russell Dunbar.

For the attention of forgetful Peter Bird.... Oh yes we did. I can
distinctly remember the celebrations afterwards, instead of all those
usual commiserations. Maybe we'll get some confirmation from any
ex-Ardeer Rovers or from some more St John's players with a better
memory than 'The Bird'.
Best regards,
JKC

For the attention of Russell Reid Dunbar.... It was Greenock Juniors and
St Andrews United beat them in the final. Two-nuthin' I think....
And don't go callin' me a smartass!

especialy school ones.
Anyway I have an old St Peters one. Not sure the year or the names,
except my dad. But i will forward to you as soon as my dad remembers
most of the names.
Anyone knows me, just send me a message through the guest book, would

Used to pedal my bike from Irvine to Saltcoats often in the good
weather. Will need to go back sometime for a look as I hear from
relatives that still stay in Irvine that there have been many changes
in the area.Great web site. Does anyone know of a web site for Irvine?
Mary Jane Swanwick 15/Nov/2001:11:46:24
I moved to Seamill in 1957 aged 10 as my father was contracted to work
on the construction of Hunterston Power station.I attended St. Peter's
Primary School, Ardrossan and later St. Michael's, Irvine,returning to
London in 1961.The total culture shock and change in environment has
never faded from my memory. They were four years of sheer freedom! I
went to Guides in West Kilbride. Names I remember are Pamela MacKay
(with whom I am still in contact) Tom McGratton (contacted through
websit) Betty Mclaughin,(Guides), Ian Crawford and David Butcher,
(Seamill) Mary Teresa Monan, Mary Irvine and a few others. I am married
to Mike, have three grown up children and three grandchildren. We live
in a village in Essex.I have taught primary children for many years but
now work part time as an optician's receptionist. I enjoy the open
countryside, mountains and the sea---Scotland obviously made a strong
impression! This is a wonderful web site! Keep it going!

Hi everyone,
I'm using the guest book in case the person I'm trying to contact
doesn't get mail from the site. I have some information for the person
who was looking for Evelyn Medine. I'm sure one of our members had a
query out about her. Anyway, I was talking to her cousin last night and
have an e-mail address. She can give whoever it was, details of Evelyn's
whereabouts. Jean
