Bens supporters at the recent Sectional League Cup were surprised and delighted (obviously not the scoreline) by the appearance of Stevie Whitehead as a spectator. The former Bens centre-forward now lives in Australia and follows the club's fortunes through the website but had taken time out on a recent visit home to watch the present day side.
Stevie, with Eddie McKim, formed the most formidable Bens frontline pairing in modern times. A successful partnership that took the Bens to the Scottish Junior Cup Final in 1980.
Stevie has made available to the Bens, photos taken of that memorable first match at Hampden and the club is in the process of having them reproduced to display in the clubhouse.
Stevie has made a request to the club on the availability of a DVD of the match which he'd like as a memento of the part he and his teammates played in the Bens' history. As yet the club has been unable to unearth a copy of the film. The match was broadcast live on STV and may have been recorded on video by a supporter or follower of Junior football.
The club would request that if anyone in the wider Junior circle of supporters has a copy of the broadcast could they contact the Bens through the website.
Whatever format the original recording is in is not important as the club will arrange to have it transferred to DVD if required and return the original and an enhanced copy in DVD to the owner.
Thanks for any assistance anyone can provide.
