Just want to let any bookworms on the forum aware that my associate Colin G.Pike has finally finished his book on Duns FC`s last season of league football and if you want to purchase a copy which includes our 1954 Scottish Cup game down here in the Borders then contact the man himself at the below address.  Seeing as I couldn`t copy the front cover to this post I`ve just included the text.

I remember that game, it was a belter.

 

It really was!

 

Buckleys hat-trick really rounded off a great afternoon for all 700 of us who made the trip down to Duns.

 

I was really gutted though, I had Wishart on as first scorer! Just typical, eh?

:hammer:

 

I must have missed that game.

 

I was at our 8-0 win in early February 1954. What a cup run that was, beating the Huns 6-0 in the semi-final infront of 110,939 fans down at that neutral venue was the highlight for me. A close second was the 3-0 home win against the Jambos infront of our record 45,061 crowd.

 

I'm still a little gutted that we lost the final 2-1 to Celtic though infront of that 130,000 crowd at Hampden.
