Gove is actually a Dons fan by all accounts - he said so to Peter Allen on 5 Live. This is despite being spotted at QPR several times by the Sky cameras. He's got that kind of posh private school voice, but with the Scottish lilted version - you'd probably hear some of our national rugby team with similar - certainly the likes of Rob Wainwright did when he played.

Crossed the picket line while at the P&J so he's certainly got form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Left quite suddenly, plenty rumours that he lied on his cv and spent the dept. budget on a holiday. Can't see the latter being true.

Did Miss Todd still teach French when you were there? She was well known as a teacher that couldn't control her class, so when I got her in 3rd year I stopped trying. I regret it now as French would be pretty handy here Can't believe that Basu and Todd were still there. I left school in 85. Miss Todd couldn't control the class back then even when they were allowed to belt pupils. Had her for 1st and 2nd year. Greg Spence's uncle also played football for a few lower league teams. Was in the same year as me. Also Gordon Durie's brother played for East Stirling (I think) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
