Toepoke Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Will be there too. Although I've seen some disagreement over the actual foundation date of the club, it may have been in 1868. Anyway 5th January 1869 has gone down in the history books, so...

ErsatzThistle Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 (edited) Such a shame that this truly wonderful man isn't here to join in the celebrations with you. Always spoke well of his time as manager at Rugby Park, would never say a bad word about the club or it's fans.

Was a great night, sadly the English Nacho Novo tried his best to ruin it. But as you can see he was given a warm reception. pic.twitter.com/4vxp4iBCXY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did any players still alive from the 1959-1965 era, when Kilmarnock were one of the best teams in the country, make an appearance ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davie Sneddon (Scored in at Tynecastle) and Ronnie Hamilton were there from the 65 team. The wives (and families) of Frank Beattie (Captain) and Brien McIlroy (the other goalscorer in 65) where there too. Bobby Williamson wasn't there, he has been at RP regularly recently but I think he was unable to attend. Alex Totten was there, as were Gary Holt, Paul Clarke, Jim Clark, Alan Robertson, Paul Wright, Kenny Shiels, Ray Mongomerie amongst other ex players/staff. Thankfully there was no sign of Michael Johnston! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrelhumper Posted January 7, 2019 Author Share Posted January 7, 2019 (edited) John Barnes from the BBC was the compere for the night. He's a massive Killie fan, shareholder etc and was really good to have somebody with a genuine affection for the club do that on the night. Same with the speakers, Gordon Sherry the ex golfer spoke and he's a dyed in the wool Killie fan. Same with Ben from Biffy Clyro who follows us home and away, midweek trips to Pittodrie the lot. There were local MP's, MSP's, Provosts and council leaders there. All of them to a man (and woman in Cathy Jamieson's case) have been long term season ticket holders at the club and I'm not sure how common that is in Scotland. Was a really special night Edited January 7, 2019 by Squirrelhumper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every thread it seems is all about the Rangers, can you not take the thread for what its intentions were for and congratulate Kilmarnock for reaching the milestone. Well done all involved and looked like a cracking do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
