gannonball Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 About 8 years ago I was visiting my Dad in Dubai with my mate. There was a gold souk place nearby so we walked down for a gander and were in one of the smaller shops when my eyes were transfixed by a signed picture of the great scottish footballer.................................................. ............................... ............................................................Jim Lauchlan. As I pointed at this picture holding court in the front of shop I tried to tell my mate but was too far gone with laughter and could only point untill he saw it and was scratching his head at such a rare sighting. Im guessing the big man made himself out to be some sort of superstar to gain a discount or the owner was a fan of the football manager he was sh*t hot in. Anyway have any PnBers found some random scottish football memorabilia in the far flung corners of the world?... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swello Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 I always liked the Liberian 'Well supporters club - something to do with the strips that were left outside Fir Park after Phil O'Donnell died. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JTS98 Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 I saw Martin McIntosh, then of Hibernian, waiting behind me in the queue for an ATM in the village in East Kilbride in 2000. I'd just come back from watching Hearts beat Dunfermline 2-0 at Tynecastle and Hibs had lost 3-0 at Celtic. Mr McIntosh was clutching a takeaway pizza from Stefano's in the village. I asked him if it was comfort food. He replied, "I wasn't playing, why would I give a f**k?" Fair enough. Always stuck with me as an interesting window into the mind of the professional.

He had plenty of pace when he was playing in Europe with the big team from Ayrshire. Here's him beating defenders for pace at Parkhead (11 mins 30 secs in) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francesc Fabregas Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Back in 2006, I helped Calum Elliot, then of Heart of Midlothian, use the automated ticket machine at Queen Street train station in Glasgow. He genuinely didn't know what he was doing, his young face all confused, but he seemed grateful for my intervention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RussellAnderson Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 I was on holiday in Vietnam and shared a day trip to an island with none other than Rachid Belabed's tailor. I was excited when he mentioned he was friends with a Moroccan Aberdeen player when he lived in the 'Deen, but unfortunately it wasn't the great Zero himself. He now lives in Wales and did the Welsh national team's suits for their Euro 2016 qualifying campaign, so fair play to the bloke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maplewell Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Was in downtown Toronto 3 years ago and went into a random comic book store. There on the wall was a framed Partick Thistle away top from 2011 signed by what I imagine was all the Thistle players at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
