FLYERS | The new coach north of the Forth is Tom Coolen. Maybe he'll get a roster signed in time for Xmas at this rate

But if we’re talking ’totally classless’ there’s only one…………..Ross Lambert!
A true ‘one of a kind’ ……….. an A-hole!

The phrase 'Gone by Xmas' is frequently used in hockey in reference to players and coaches but in Fife’s case maybe it should be the reverse.
'Here by Xmas'!

One of my fondest hockey memories is seeing ross Lambert get the pasting he so richly deserved. After trying to take a cheap shot against our lord Doug McEwen.

Aah, those were the days!
You’ve just brought a tear to my eye!

What I’d give for a 20 yr old Nicky Chinn in a Devils uniform again!

Lambert was relentless on McEwen, but local boy Nicky Chinn handed him his arse on a plate, loved Chinny, the best punch of all time was Chinny on Mike Rowe, that was some punch.

Ah yes, Rowe's helmet ended up in the crowd in block 7 or 8 iirc.

Didn't he have a brother in the lge the same era ? He was the normal one I recall

 

[Wannabe2]

Don’t remember him having a brother, i do remember him violently attacking John Lawless at our place, and one of our players beating the crap out of him. Pretty sure he went to London Knights where lots of players beat the crap out of him, he was a fruitcake but a lousy fighter.

Mark Slater - definitely more normal.

Grant was an interesting character, actually highly intelligent off the ice but when the red mist came down on the ice, it was time to man the barricades. I remember him playing for (I think) Ayr in around 1990, Ian Cooper breezed by him, his locks flowing in the wind. Grant Slater reached over and hauled him down by the ponytail. I wince even now thinking about it.

Grant died young quite recently. A sad end to a turbulent life.

Mark I believe.

Didn’t one of the Slaters go after Moria up in Scotland back in the day? I’m sure he ended up being stretchered off the ice in a neck collar.

I honestly thought there was going to be a riot that night in WNIR, after that incident. Those were the days!

 

[Wannabe2]

There was a bench clearance, Devils v Panthers. Great night.

 

[Earnie]

Re Devils v Panthers clearance - Blaisdale left the scene and went to the bar!

 

[Diafol]

This ?

 

[Wannabe2]

This ?

Don’t you just miss those days, no one left the building or fell asleep. Modern day hockey is good, but for excitement take me back please.

 

[fridaysfingers]

No one with their phones out recording it, just everyone watching

 

[Finny]

It was on Face-off. I remember because I took the tape into school and did my speech for my English GCSE about it!!!
