A caper in the 1969/70 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup presented Scotland’s oldest professional club with some of their most resilient European adversaries.
Windswept, militaria-laden passport officers flanked by lines of fighter jets, a henchman goalkeeper specialising in lethal pull-and-punch handshakes, and a referee who “didn’t see nothing” led our adventurers to a chilly denouement: a game of football’s desperate, wheezing, grasping attempt to break free of its predictable fate.
Kilmarnock Football Club elder statesmen, Jimmy Cook, Ross Mathie and George Maxwell look back at the adventures of a lifetime.
