Thanks to John McDermott was sharing this photo of Matt Boyle’s Pub Football Team.
The date is June 1978 and the photo was taken in Low Blantyre. Front row left to right is: Jackie Dunsmuir, Gerry Summers, Robert (Rab) Stewart, Mick Martin, Mick McGaulley and Danny Scully
Back row left to right is: Pat Mc Connell standing with a suit on, Arthur Devine, John McDonald, Daniel (Danny) Allan, Bill Reid who was the goalkeeper, Gerry McAleenan, Thomas (Tam) Kelly, John McSorley, Sookie Mullen (coach).
John told me, “This was the Pub league cup final. Matt Boyles were in the final against Glenlee and went on to for a Blantyre win!”
