i am the grandson of willie bulloch, who was captain of partick thistle when they won the scottish cup in 1921. i’m a glaswegian living in australia. it saddens me that fans cannot see the 1921 scottish cup achive film that was available on your website. does anyone know where i could find a copy of the film footage of this final?
Thanks for your comment Billy. I have included a link to another version of the 1921 film, on the British Pathe website. I note that you can buy your own copy, for £30.
Thank you, Niall Kennedy for your reply. It was most helpful I certainly will look into the the British Pathe website for more information. Kind regards, Billy Bulloch

You’ll be interested in the film of the 4th round match between Thistle and Motherwell in 1921.
Willie Bulloch is clearly featured.

My grandfather David Johnstone played in this winning team, in the video he can be seen running on to the field at start of match, last man out of the tunnel.
Fantastic Ian. Do you have any memorabilia from your grandfather that could be shared on the site?
My grandad was Johnny Blair. Does any one know of any his res team pictures ?
