PauloPerth Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 1 hour ago, J.A.G said: Haha that’s great! I had a look on google maps.. that same councillor must have enjoyed a dram or two as just round the corner we have Talisker and Lagavulin Place! Yes at the top of the Dunkeld Road just before the inveralmond roundabout was where Dewars whisky were located. So all the streets of the new scheme around about there are named relating to whisky: Auld Bond Road leads to Cooper Drive (cooper's made the barrels), Edradour Terrace, Lagavullin Place, Oban Place, Talisker Place, Glenturret Place. Near the bus station in Perth we have Rutherford Court, named after Saints legend Drew Rutherford. https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/local-news/perth-development-named-after-saints-2745509 Regarding the streets with the Aberdeen players' names, found this on some Aberdeens site https://allybegg.com/where-the-streets-have-great-names/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aidan Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 There's Renny Crescent and Tailyour Crescent Montrose, named after Henry Renny-Tailyour who scored Scotland's first ever international goal and also won the FA Cup in 1875 with the Royal Engineers. I would name a street after John McGovern who won the European Cup twice with Nottingham Forest and was born in Montrose although he moved away when he was a kid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Hart Lane has a football ground, Haringey Borough play there. There's a while estate/scheme where the street names have an Airdrie connection, Ewart, McMillan, Whiteford , Jonquin etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meatwad Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Jimmy McMullen Walk in Manchester's Moss Side is named after the 1928 Wembley Wizards captain Jimmy McMullan. Played for Thistle in two spells, left for Man City where he won the FA Cup and was the first-ever manager appointed by Aston Villa. https://www.streetcheck.co.uk/postcode/m144jg I actually wrote an article for my Thistle podcast's website, which is also available here: https://marcjwallace.medium.com/the-wembley-wizard-3aa926aee563 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiegoDiego Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 I used to live on Jens Martin Knudsens Vej, but disappointingly it was named after some scientist, not the bobblehatted keeper of yore. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
