After scoring his first goal for Motherwell in his first home start, Allan Campbell sits down with MFC TV’s Lewis Irons to discuss his memorable header. 

The youngster’s crucial, determined goal gave the Steelmen a 4-2 lead over Inverness Caley Thistle in one of the biggest clashes of the campaign.

Allan talks through his goal with Lewis in the latest edition of ‘Goal Zone’.

He said: “I’m still over the moon just now. At training all of the boys have been giving me praise which has been good and it’s not like me to score either.

“It’s great knowing that all of the boys want you to do well and it’s obviously a proud moment for me getting my first Motherwell goal.”

From the juniors to journalism, Andy Walker has been a familiar figure on and off the park in Scottish football over the last four decades.

Tommy McLean made Andy one of his first signings upon taking charge at Motherwell in the summer of 1984, bringing him to Fir Park from Baillieston juniors.

Blooded by McLean in the league around six months after his arrival, the striker came to prominence at exactly the right time, scoring three goals in the final weeks of the season as Motherwell closed in on the First Division title.

Indeed it was Walker who grabbed the goal that secured promotion for Motherwell in the dying minutes of the penultimate match of the season against Brechin City in May 1985.

Gradually making one of the striking berths his own, Walker proved himself a player for the big occasion netting the winner against Rangers in February 1986 and scoring against Celtic in the League Cup Semi Final at Hampden later in the year.

It was the latter who would tempt Walker away from Fir Park in 1987 for a reported fee of £350,000. As so often happens after a move to one of the Old Firm, Andy found himself viewed in a different light and within a year he would earn the first of what would eventually be three international caps for Scotland. It wasn’t without reason though, after he enjoyed a scintillating first season at Parkhead as Celtic won a league and cup double.

After five seasons with Celtic, Walker moved south to Bolton where he was particularly prolific and scored in a number of high profile matches for the Trotters.

Seeking a return to Scotland in 1994 – had Tommy McLean had his way Walker would have served under him once more, but the emergence of Celtic in the bidding war put paid to any realistic hopes McLean had of luring him back to Lanarkshire and he signed for Celtic for a second time.

Thereafter, Andy had spells with Sheffield Utd, Hibernian, Raith Rovers, Ayr Utd, Carlisle, Partick Thistle and Alloa before calling it a day after more than 400 league appearances.

Walker would soon become involved in the media side of the game writing columns for newspapers and appearing as a summariser on television. These days he features regularly on Sky Sports covering both games in Scotland and England.

An under-rated but extremely popular player, midfielder Jamie Dolan played more than 200 games for the Steelmen in a decade plus career at Fir Park. 

A product of the Motherwell youth system Jamie made his first outings in Tommy McLean’s side during season 1988’89.

Used sporadically over the course of the next two or three campaigns it was only during season 1991’92 that he became a fully fledged member of Tommy McLean’s first-team squad.

By the time of McLean’s departure in 1994, with his carefully constructed squad heading for its peak Dolan was as key a figure as any within it.  Whilst it was his international midfield colleagues Phil O’Donnell, Paul Lambert and the creative Billy Davies who generally grabbed the headlines Jamie was the midfield lynchpin who allowed the trio to do what they did best.

In all his determined and battling displays in claret and amber there is however one which stands out above all the rest.  It was on 7^th December 1996 that ‘Well faced Celtic at Fir Park. Going ahead through Billy Davies, Motherwell were in command until a facial injury forced ‘keeper Scott Howie to go off.  With no substitute goalkeeper on the bench it was Jamie, the smallest man of the park, who took his gloves and went between the posts.

Performing heroics time after time the Salsburgh born player kept Celtic at bay and when the visitors did finally level it was through no fault of Dolan’s. having been left isolated by a short back-pass.

The day however was to be Jamie’s with his goalkeeping feats providing Motherwell with the platform to snatch victory in the final minute, ironically after his opposite number in the Celtic goal had spilled a shot allowing Ian Ross to slide home from close range.

It would prove to be something of a final flourish for Jamie in a Motherwell jersey. With his side struggling to find the net little more than a month later Alex McLeish sacrificed Dolan’s midfield tenacity for the striking prowess of Owen Coyle of Dundee Utd, where Dolan would work under  Tommy McLean once again.

Thereafter Jamie had something of a nomadic existence serving Dunfermline, Livingston, Forfar and Partick before dropping down to the junior ranks.

Sadly tragedy would strike when Jamie passed away aged just thirty-nine from a heart condition that had also struck his father at a similarly early age.

He remains fondly remembered by the Motherwell support.
