Gary Duncan's 50th presentation

Gary Duncan was presented with his commemorative "50" shirt last week:

L to R: John Moir,  Neil McCubban,  John Macpherson,  Alan Davie,  Stephen Watson,  Gary Duncan,  Brian Manson,  Andy Robertson,  Malcolm Lodge,  Graham Pryde,  Bill Setter.  Not in shot, photographer Ewen Hay.

Gary is the 26th person to be awarded a shirt - a tradition that started with a simple t-shirt at Fred Morrison's 50th birthday match back in June, 1991. There have now been eighteen "50" shirts issued, plus five "40" shirts, six "60" shirts, one "65" shirt, one "49" shirt - and even one "30" shirt!

My records are showing those with more than one shirt - Andy Gore, Colin Kilgour, Ian Stewart, Dave Williamson, Jack Simpson and, of course, Fred himself, but this database surely needs updating as both Ian Sharp and Malcolm Lodge must also have received both "50" and "60" shirts?

The other historical database is for those who have made more than 500 appearances. I believe there are currently 14 names on the shield - in order of award:

Gore, Andrew

Stewart, Ian

Williamson, Dave

Kilgour, Colin

Simpson, Jack

Fitzpatrick, Brian

McDonald, John

Lodge, Malcolm

Sharp, Ian

Moir, John

Hay, Ewen

McRae, Ian

Tyrie, Jeb Manson, Brian
