No Frank - he's moved to Spain and is now a scout for Sunderland, I think.
I remember looking for "that" goal a while ago too and being unable to locate it. Epic, for so many reasons.

Thought then & still do......... Norrie had a hand in that goal
Nearly 20 years later & it's still my single "you had to have been there" football moment.........it was most definitely surreal
If I remember correctly we were cruising at 3 nil up & the enormity of the recent events seemed to hit like a hammer blow when Clydebank scored their first goal, the legs went & we went into free fall, they got back to 3-3 & looked like ruining what was initially looking like a fantastic tribute to Norrie in the 1st game back just four days after his death
Up stepped Craig Robertson & the rest as they say is history
I remember the goal like it was yesterday, I hope I recall the rest of the events correctly?

That's just exactly how I remember it as well.
Totally surreal experience ending with an explosion of sheer brilliance.
My mate next to me was the first to throw a scarf to Westy which he tied to the net and soon everyone was doing it.
I'm no fan of Keith Jackson but his piece on this game was one of the best, most honest match reports I have ever read and captured the emotions perfectly that day.

My favourite memory at EEP. After all of the emotion of the preceding weeks, to come back with a strike like that to win 4-3 after having been 3-0 up was magical. I can remember standing there during the minute silence and thinking I had never seen so many grown men crying.
BMMMH's free kick against The Wee Team also a firm favourite, but nowhere near as memorable as that goal.

I can remember the overwhelming feeling of deflation when it was obvious they were going to equalise.
Every man woman and child could sense the players had spent their energy, emotional energy on the early part of the game and nobody could have said a damn word had we lost it.
To actually find something after this was truly inspirational and it came right after their equaliser if memory serves.
I think we all agreed at the time the result was irrelevant but as it turned out , it was one of the most important results and got the team spirit together again.
That season, after Norrie was like no other I can think of.
The delay in the trophy presentation gave fans lots of times to stand and remember Norrie in the final game and it felt like he was around the club

95 / 96. or in reality Jan to April 96, what an emotional roller coaster The Pars fans went through.
If I remember the Clydebank game the home end was full and locked well before kick off, but the fans were quiet, once the minutes silence was over that changed.
The players and the fans gave there all releasing a lot of pent up frustrations, then when 3 nil up both fans and players started to contemplate what had happened and Clydebank took advantage, then one man with a Pars angel on his back hit that amazing goal, and the roar and emotional release of the players and fans was unbelievable.
We were not going to be denied the victory that day or the title with OUR captain still leading for the front.

I think i missed their 2nd and 3rd goals.Just. Came back to the standing area behind the goals with my dad who said they'd equalised, the guy in front confirmed it when i didn't believe him.
I think right then Robbo smashed it in. I also think that was the game my dad fully became a Pars fan.

I went to school with (and later briefly worked for) the chap who filmed it, we used to film the Pars games as part of the media studies class. Filmed many a match myself (and it was coooooold).
The poor quality of the image is simply down to it being taken straight from the VHS tape we recorded the games on - even at the time it never looked all that good and the years probably weren't kind to the tape before it was converted to digital for the DVD.
Sadly most of these will have been taped over, we're just really lucky that this one remains.
The other great white buffalo is the Kozma hattrick game, which may or may not have been filmed, and if so may or may not have been kept. It's pretty unlikely though, in all honesty.

The guy filming it was probably not the one who gave him it though - he would have only have been 17, and the tape would have belonged to the school.

Thanks for posting those, they were a great read. I still got a lump in my throat even now.
On the video dave67 posted above, I recognised quite a few folk there, even some posters from here. I never got there that day as my boss who wasn't a football fan didn't get why I wanted to go, as I didn't know him personally, but he wasn't a football fan or from the town so explaining what he meant to everyone made no sense to him, and I always remember the incredulous look and smirk he gave me when I asked him for the time off. I still haven't forgiven him for that tbh, and I resigned not long after. Not totally for that reason but it certainly played it's part.
