It was the other way round. Kelland put Mike Rowe through doors. Think i have it on VHS somewhere. I thought it was other way Next game they hung an effigy of Rowe from roof gantry down on to the ice Definately Mike Rowe that got put through the doors, Can't remember the reason the dummy was hung from the roof. I used to pay attention to the games back then. My sister also got one of his sticks from that year. That and there was no bar open in the rink. Sometimes we used to run accross the road to the hotel between periods. Certainly couldn't do that now.

Pure hatred between Fife and Murrayfield. Winnie the witch and her clan. Rink sounded like a jungle whenever Kelland was on the puck. The guy was a machine, playing the entire 60 minutes without breaking a sweat

You had to hate Kelland but he was a great player to have in your team. Wish there were more villans like him in the league these days make it a bit better fun.

In the game before Mike Rowe chasing Kelland who was skating towards the Fife lounge end was getting beat so just cracked his stick downwards lumberjack style on Kellands head ..what would have been a multiple game ban now got a ten minute high sticks penalty. That's what caused the effigy it was murrayfields way of saying Rowes getting it this game.

It was Jim Mollard who put Mike Rowe through the Zamboni doors at Murrayfield, not Chris Kelland.
I've had a few favourite Flyers players over the years, but the wow player has to be Doug Smail, his speed was off the scale and by far the fastest player I've ever seen in the UK. Plus he was in his mid 30's when he landed here. Cannot imagine how quick he would have been in his 20's.
A close 2nd was Greg Kuznik due to his skating ability, he has been the best skater I've ever seen on a Flyers top.

Sorry you are right, it was Jim Mollard. Checked the VHS tape over the weekend. Memory ain't what it used to be.

Hey rossco, it's not my account. Like you I had some games on vhs and passed them over to the guy who runs the twitter site. He's always on the lookout for new stuff and I'm sure would be interested in owt you have.
If you want to PM me what you have and a contact number I'll pass it on, cheers Joe.

Have to say the club are trying to keep fans engaged in lockdown and quality they are putting out much much better Keep it up Watched two periods of Nottingham game last night,we were a better team in 2018/2019 went to top of league then we overplay when injuries come and and keep by its on bench It's why the fans want to help The club are probably cautious right now until uncertainty due to virus Changes
