Moved to Crieff when I was 10. Crieff is the best part of #perthshire and is home to McGregor and his uncle Dennis Lawson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smeato is missing from the list - should be mentioned given what day it is. I was unware of Keith Lasley until about a year ago, weird one as my brother would have been in the same year (born about six weeks apart) and has no recollection of him.

endieinreekie Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Jamie Buchan, ex Aberdeen and Scotland under 21 international. I probably played against him in house football. I was obviously the better player, but my heart lay in public service. IIRC he was a decent guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must be a bit older than myself if Jamie Bishop was in your classes. Stevie McColl was a year or two above me. Josh Morris has signed for Cowdenbeath as well. Another lower league player from divit. Really are making these other schools look shite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
