It might not have meant to be that, but it certainly looked like that to me when I was 5!
It would have been early to mid 70's and it would have had to be somewhere around Celtic Park. Anyone remember anything like that?
I very rarely go to the games nowadays, and I wouldn't know where to look anyway.

Wow bobk! you woke me from my lurker related sleep with this one, just like rip van winkle These cobbles you are talking about used to be at the Gallowgate app. across from where KFC is now at Barrowfield. They were supposedly created in memory of John Thomson, Celtic goalie accidently killed v Rangers in 1931. They were removed about 5 years ago and a shrub bed put in their place. However I seem to remember someone saying they were relaid at the community centre in Barrowfield. Can anyone confirm? Thats it, im back to my slumber in Lurkersville
