I hadn't realised that the Pars had been on 'Pebble Mill At One' and what a choice of tune for the song celebrating the club's Centenary, in what would have been the very early days of 'EastEnders'. I'm that strange creature, a Sassenach Par, from Belper, Derbyshire. Both my older brother and I 'adopted' Scottish clubs back in the late 1960s/early1970s when we were very young and we were having quite a few holidays in Scotland in Dad's 'Dormobile', during which we used to get the 'Wee Red Book' to follow clubs in Scotland. He went for Airdrieonians and I - after a short dalliance with St. Johnstone - went for the Pars, basically because we liked the sound of the names. I used to have the Pars' Centenary History book signed by no less a Par, as player and manager, than Bert Paton but, sadly, it went missing in a house move a few years ago.
As featured in the 1995 Christmas episode of _They Think It's All Over_ for Gary Lineker, Rory McGrath and Allan Lamb to guess what comes after 1:53 in the then-new Sing When You're Winning round (the clip is paused before the scarves come out)...
It must have been 1985 & they have a slight variation of the classic Newcastle Umbro with broader stripes with the neat V collar. Notice a lack of garish looking shirt advertising too.
I remember watching this as a kid.
Watched it at my Gran's during lunch hour from school.......legends.
Took me an embarrassingly long time to realise why they chose this tune.

Came here after reading the article about this television appearance in the newest issue of Nutmeg.
