Down The Divisions Podcast Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Hi everyone, We just wanted to alert you to our podcast and the fact we have Gartcairn boss Willie Kinniburgh on our show, which is out now. The episode's synopsis is below. We're on all podcast players including Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Podbean, Acast, Google Podcasts and Pocket Casts. Thanks for all your support. 040 Willie Kinniburgh: losing players at Gartcairn, Butcher's bayonets at Motherwell, Tom Boyd's Helicopter Sunday champagne & the naked cycling superhero THIS week's guest has shared a dressing room with Kris Boyd, James McFadden, Derek Riordan, Garry O’Connor and Allan Hutton. He also played his part in Helicopter Sunday with Motherwell and won six caps for Scotland's Under-21s. But right now Willie Kinniburgh is the man in the managerial hotseat at Gartcairn. We hear how a season of non-competitive football led to Gary Harkins, Steven Saunders and Martin Grehan leaving after originally signing up to play. Willie tells us how he's gone from life and soul of the changing room as a player to the man at the helm. His management style is different to his gaffer at Fir Park. Willie tells us about Terry Butcher's "Thou shall not pass" mantra and how he would tell his players to get their bayonets out before a game. We hear why Butcher branded Willie and Stephen Craigan Captain Mainwaring and Private Pike. He relives Helicopter Sunday, why Tom Boyd knocked on the Motherwell dressing room to get his bottle of champagne back and the phone call Alex McLeish made to Butcher to express his thanks. There's also the day Willie changed Craig Hinchliffe's number plates at Partick Thistle - and why he went to court afterwards. Plus there's his naked superhero cycling prank and why Gerry Britton started wearing his gardening gear to training. and a look back at his time at Irvine Meadow, Cambuslang Rangers and Thorniewood United.
