Andy McLaren scores from the kick-off as Morton faced Dumbarton at Cappielow. We'd go on to win 4-0 thanks to a Derek Lilley double and a Peter Weatherson goal.

Lee Kilday puts Morton in front at Falkirk in a match which ended 1-1.

David O'Brien scores the only goal of the game as Morton beat Ayr United at Somerset Park.

These images have shaped my work since 1989...going now into my own Fame of Hall.
LAST CHRISTMAS...
...i get to go 'back' to Cappielow, scene of my best ever picture ("Cry For Home") taken at the bus-stop outside. I stand outside again, waiting for... I don't know what.
Then this...a trail of youngish boys on scooters all scooting past the gates of the match. Police following in a van. (Doesn't amount to much).
I am slightly saddened that the boys might never 'go to the match', anymore. That in decades to come this occasion might not be on offer.

magazine is 300 editions old/young. It began in the year 2000, 11 years after I began 'Homes Of Football'. In their celebratory edition (a best of) they have included this image

These images, and I consider this my BEST OF ALL, have shaped my work every year. Places & people & half the story (yours is the other half of the tale)...

Morton made their first Premier Division trip to Love Street and came away with a 0-0 draw, unlucky not to take both points.
Notable for being my first ever Morton away game (aged 6).

A deflected free-kick from Marko Rajamaki and an Alan Mahood header gave Morton a 2-1 win over Airdrie at Cappielow. That decision for their penalty 🤦♂️

After going 2-0 down early doors at home to Peterhead, goals from Paul McGowan, Peter Weatherson, Scott McLaughlin and Kevin Finlayson gave Morton a 4-2 win.

Morton hosted Dunfermline at Cappielow and were 2-0 down within four minutes, and would lose 2-1. The cameras caught the a very Scottish moment, with a pie being thrown onto the park.
Not sure if it was due to the score or the pie.

Another monsoon at Cappielow where Morton drew 0-0 with St. Mirren, with an Andy Ritchie penalty sticking in the mud in the 2nd half.
Results elsewhere meant that our part-time team went top of the Premier Division. 👏

In a monsoon at Cappielow, Morton faced Celtic (who had the chance to go top with Aberdeen's game being off).
Mo Johnston gave the visitors the lead but a Jim Gillespie double gave us a very unexpected 2-1 win.

Morton conceded early but went on to stick 5 goals past Partick Thistle (Oliver, McHugh 2, Iredale & Tidser).
A floodlight shattered after the 5th and there was a frantic collection of bits of glass to ensure the game finished.

Airdrie keeper John Martin, always popular at Cappielow, was sent off in the first half.
After Derek Lilley scored the penalty, Morton then conceded an equaliser, and failed to test either of the outfield players who went in goal.

A rare weekend of goals galore in the Championship this weekend and absolutely tremendous wins for Dunfermline, Livingston and Raith Rovers who will all be aggrieved at being pipped to the coveted P&B Performance of the week.
A welcome three points for Ayr Utd as well but our PoTW absolutely has to go to @Morton_FC for inflicting a first home league defeat in about 6 years on Partick Thistle.
There is life in the old dog yet 👊🏻

Regardless of how the season turned out, this was one of the finest away demolition jobs I'd ever seen, as Morton won 6-1 in a top-of-the-table clash at Airdrie.
Video shows our 5th and 6th goals.

Probably the only time I went into a Morton v St. Mirren game confident of a win.
Thankfully, we at least have periscope footage of our goals from that 3-1 win, scored by Tam O'Ware, Ross Forbes and Gary Oliver.
