The players were reunited on stage for a special live show at Rothes Halls, Glenrothes, on Friday night for a night of stories and memories. It was the single biggest hockey event staged in Fife.
The players also donned specially designed jackets and replicas of the strips they wore in their legendary triumph at Wembley Arena in London exactly 40 years ago. It remains one of the greatest moments in the club’s near 90-year history, and one which sparked a fanbase that spanned a generation.
