"TIME REF, F*****G TIME" 😆😂

Final moments & celebrations from when Meadow knocked Arbroath out of the Scottish Cup to become the first "Junior" side to knock out senior league opposition in the cup's history (28/11/2009).

Beware, some sweary words 🤭

@GaryPeebles4 Can we help with this @poity_uk

Johnny McIntyre not only captained the Meadow team to success in the 1963 Scottish Junior Cup Final and scored the winner three minutes from the end, but at one point he threw himself along his goal line to block a scoring shot with his face, losing a couple of teeth.

"The History of Irvine Meadow XI F.C." book which was compiled by James F. Delury, was published in 1960.

Thousands of fans gather at Irvine town centre to greet Meadow back to town after winning the 1959 Scottish Junior Cup. The open top bus celebrations down Irvine High Street is such an iconic moment in not just the club's past but the town's entire history.
