The sad demise of a once great Scottish football club - Clydebank FC

Clydebank FC were a once great football club. They had fantastic players such as Davie Cooper who also played for Motherwell FC and Rangers FC.
Situated in Glasgow, Scotland, Clydebank FC now have a phoenix club born out of the club of old. Awful mismanagement meant the original club went bust.

Bankies fan here! Great video mate. Clydebank are on the way back!

Kilbowie Park was actually the first "all seater" ground in the UK.

Great video..I have so much affinity to Clydebank as their demise so mirrors my own club Wimbledon's. Owner selling ground to retailers, no re-location plan, mooted moves to Dublin, supporters boycotting, new record low attendance, another club involved in the injustice..however both clubs fans have stayed loyal and reformed their clubs and both now have new Stadiums to build a future on..a bright future

Enjoyed your video. I'm a Clydebank supporter who enjoyed many happy years watching them play at Kilbowie, a great eee stadium, and as others have said the first all seated in Scotland. Watched Davie Cooper at both his stints at Clydebank, the early years and then when he came back. Saw the Bankies play Celtic in the Scottish Cup semi final at Hampden Park and the Junior Cup Final at Rugby Park, Kilmarnock that you mentioned. Supported them at the various temporary home grounds you mentioned (when ground sharing with Dumbarton and Morton) and as they re-established in the Junior Leagues. Not able to get to current games because of COVID, but the team is doing well in the new West of Scotland League and still have dream of seeing them work their way back to the highest leagues in the Scottish structure. Great memories. 🙂

I signed for Clydebank the same night as Davie Cooper, we beat Partick Th 3-1. Jack Steadman asked us to wait upstairs from the changing sheds, it was a Monday/ Tuesday night ?? Davie was a fantastic player and showed his ability from Day one.

One of the best scots to grace a football field tragedy been taken for to young

Grew up a stone's throw away from Kilbowie,and still live in Clydebank.Its a town that desperately needs our club back as a professional team.I seen everyone there in the 80s and 90s growing up from Celtic to Rangers Aberdeen,Hibs Hearts them all.Plenty of millionaires from Clydebank that could help such as Duncan Bannatyne,The Wets ,Kevin Bridges to name a few.

Sad about Clydebank, and sad about the untimely death of Davie Cooper. He was by far the best player I ever watched in a Rangers shirt. Most significantly he was just a humble lad from Hamilton who shunned the limelight. He could have played at the top level in England, but preferred playing for Rangers, and living in his hometown. Legend.

"Kilbowie, Kilbowie, we're the famous Clydebank FC and we come from Kilbowie!" 🔴⚪ ⚫

When I was a kid growing up watching football in the 70s all the super stars were Scottish and that’s a fact, that’s why England dominated Europe, we didn’t need any foreigners, Scottish football has been in decline for a while now, don’t think it’s just Clydebank, Leeds fan 👍

[@tombrown5830]

Davie Cooper what a legend and a great player. Great to see you in a Scottish shirt and yes we won last night ⚽️⚽️⚽️

[@stevenferrie3734]

Good video. You should look up the history of Drumchapel Amateurs in the 70s & 80s! David Moyes dad was heavily involved and produced a lot of known players

[@arteetmarteperfect4518]

I’ve learnt something new today when I stumbled across this video. Well put together and narrated.

[@MacMacPherson]

Virtually the whole of this video is a reminder of my youth and early twenties as a player (queens park, clyde, albion rovers)... i played against clydebank a number of times, at kilbowie park... one of my mates played for Dumbarton (before the ground-share with the bankies)... ie tommy mcadam (who went on to play centre-forward for celtic, and his brother, colin, played for rangers... rip big cad)... i moved away from scotland in my mid-twenties so to hear of the decline of the bankies is a shock... good video, thanks for making it

[@daviddooker7817]

I love your passion and enthusiasm for the minnows of football….the origins of football teams and early history is knowledge thirsty.

[@hamishmacdonald6997]

Great video thanks for telling our story, a part of me dies every time I see a pic or footage of that retail outlet over Kilbowie!

[@cejiverus]

Great memories jumping off that train to play my football, part-time then 2yrs full-time at Clydebank.. So many great memories.. Thanks footy Adventures. 😎👍

[@arronblack67]

Quality video mate. I stay in Clydebank and it’s a shame the club no longer there. They play at Holm park and share with Yoker. Good to see you do a video on the club. It’s sad to see that where u were at the start of the video is where the stadium used to stand.

[@jeffmurray6219]

I was fortunate enough to see David Cooper play for Clydebank in the 70s. I remember as a wee boy standing pitch side at Kilbowie when he roared down the wing, what an inspiration he was and such a great player. Never to be forgotten.

[@nigelmangold5641]

Well presented clip. QPR fan but Clydebank was always the Scottish club I looked out for.
