BFTD Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Just discovered a few things about the last shitehole school I went to; apparently they've only ever had one pupil who went on to do anything of note, and that was just some artist who was known in the local area in the mid-Nineties. Another thing is that, during the period after I left (when the place supposedly improved), it was rated 'Very Poor' by Ofsted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only ones I can add are; Raymond Meade, who is now the base player of Ocean Colour Scene. Chris Burke, the wee ginger footballer. And a niche one here Mark Sweeney of ICW wrestling(he was a good c**t so thought he deserved a mention) Imagine me forgetting Raymond. He's only a good pal too!

Alan Stubbs Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 My dad went to yon school in Belfast and was apparently friends with the Norn Irish boy from Corrie. 4 hours ago, Jambomo said: According to Wiki: Category:People educated at Broughton High School, Edinburgh.

Tommy Smith, saxophonist, composer Graham Fitzpatrick Film Director, Screenwriter I don't appear to be on there for some reason. Must be some mistake My school was Broughton. Sorrow. Sorrow. Didn't realise big Gus Robertson went there. Just looked up Sean McKirdy and feel a bit depressed that someone who would've started after I left is now a professional footballer.

Scraping the bottom of the celeb barrel, the chef Michael Smith, who was once one of the winners of the Great British Menu and still pops up on TV here and there, was a couple of years ahead of me at Millburn. Mark MacCulloch, ex- Dunfermline, Livvy and ICT, was a couple of years below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
