Fifespud Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 That’s quite interesting actually. Which character was based on Jimmy Sandison? I read all Welsh’s books and can’t think who it could be. Begbie 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieThomas Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 How exactly do you go about basing a character on a fairly non-descript footballer that you'll never have seen play? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7-2 Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 On 1/7/2018 at 23:48, djchapsticks said: Hartley was every bit as hated by St. Mirren and blamed for that collapse but the difference is that Hartley was an antagonist in the eyes of St. Mirren fans for his entire career, before, during G and after his stint in Perth. Nobody really gave a toss about Main until that day. That's interesting. I've never seen a St Mirren fan mention Hartley regarding that day yet he was the factual villain, not the manufactured one. It's always only been Main, certainly on here. I didn't/don't delve into other clubs sites. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted January 14, 2018 Author Share Posted January 14, 2018 I'll get another couple up tonight lads. Have no fears. I won't lie and say I'll be finishing this list in a week, it'll be a drawn out process based on the fact that I'm lazy af. But it'll get done. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topcat(The most tip top) Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 How exactly do you go about basing a character on a fairly non-descript footballer that you'll never have seen play? You’re a little younger than me so you’ve probably forgotten Before becoming “Mister Airdrie” he was a peripheral figure at Hearts.He played in 15 Edinburgh Derbies (winning 8 losing 3) so Irvine Welsh May well have seen himAnd that mullet perm and tache combination left an impression on everyone that saw it so he’d remember http://www.londonhearts.com/scores/players/sandisonjimmy.html 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieThomas Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 BIG TIME CASUAL (i.e middle class tourist) Welsh lived in London when Sandison played for us, nah? Other than giving the character a shite perm, I'm struggling tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tongue_tied_danny Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 I gotta admit. I quite liked that Airdrie team from the early 90s just for the seeth that they caused. Kenny Black, Sandison, John Martin, Justin Fashanu etc. They were like a bunch of pantomime villains. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludo*1 Posted January 14, 2018 Author Share Posted January 14, 2018 38. Andy Goram - 21 points. Cracking keeper, of that there is no question.
