Brown, by then playing for Falkirk, almost missed the party. "Myself and two team-mates - Doug Baillie, who's now a reporter for the Sunday Post, and John Lambie, who manages Partick Thistle - went for lunch in the West End. The sweet was so long coming that the other two fled after the main course to get the tube to Wembley."
