Granny Danger Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 I met Maurice Malpas for the first time about four years and have spoken to him a couple of times since. He’s a nice guy and easy to talk with. During his playing career at United he always looked as miserable as sin. Maybe it was due to working under Wee Jum. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eder Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Years ago Sandy Clark working in a Sports Shop in Airdrie. I went in for ManUtd top before they were popular. Very short exchange "No we don't have that". I wonder if he is still average? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philpy Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 I met Gary locke at a charity game at mussy athletics ground. He's pretty sound, even if he was a pish gaffer for raith. Bumped into ally Mitchell in a kebab shop in Edinburgh in the late 90s, strangely claimed he wasn't him, even though we all knew he was. The following week I saw ivano bonetti in the same place. I used to live near colin Cameron in kirkcaldy, always had time to chat. I live in the same village as grant Murray and John mgGlynn, both are sound and always have time to chat. I've seen Billy brown in musselburgh a few times, never spoken to him. He's been there and dun hings, so I'm led to believe.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alta-pete Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 My mum went and chapped Ally McCoist’s door and he then turned up (late) at my 21st with a signed copy of his autobiography. Alison was a total wid. They were on their way out to dinner at the Killermont Polo Club. I think he was driving… When I started working for myself in 2005, Paul McStay was my office landlord. Very quiet chap, he drove a beaten up Citroen people carrier and very much kept himself to himself. Very wry sense of humour if you could get to it… For after work pints I must’ve bumped into Neil Lennon 1/2doz times. Usually in The Five Ronnies, although once I think in Jinty McGuintys. He likes a Stella and lime or three and was always very good craic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alta-pete Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 And when I was winching a young lady in Broughty Ferry 10 or so years ago we used to bump into Rab Douglas in Costa quite regularly. As a chap described his son on the radio at the weekend ‘as bright as 2am’. And a slight stretch but Stephen Thomson (the then DUFC Chairman) would usually call in at The Royal Arch for a couple of pints on his way home of a Friday teatime. Always seemed absorbed in his thoughts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melanius Mullarkey Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Rab Douglas was Santa at the bairn’s nursery school one year (maybe 2013?). Average. Other than the odd Ian Cathro pleasantry exchange in my street, that’s it from me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyM Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Gary Mackay lives near me and I see him occasionally when I'm walking my dog. He's actually a pleasant enough guy. Cue Hibs fans at my door. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Sanchez Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Walked into a spaceship simulator at a theme park and discovered that our unlikely trio of space companions were Alex McLeish, Dave Beaumont and Kevin Gallacher. It was in Gothenburg just prior to the European Championships. Of the three, only Gallacher was actually in the squad. McLeish was sound, and engaged with us as soon as he heard our accents. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoose Rice Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 Years back some boy outside a club who supported Aberdeen was utterly convinced I was Darren Mackie even when I said I wasn’t. I was pretty average back then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ol1vercloff Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 Myles Hippolyte matched with an old flame of mine on Tinder, she told him she wasn't interested, so he tracked her down on social media and turned up to her place of work. Several times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So probably the equivalent. We did play the dons that day though and the lad had me on the phone to his pals speaking to me as I was Mackie. Weird, but average night out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiffRaff Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Billy Bremner sat behind me at the Scotland Holland game during Euro 96. From what I can remember he had a "court" suit on. I had to stop my mate from giving a hard time for missing an open goal against Brazil in the 1974 World Cup. I did a part-time degree at Napier and John Miller of Hearts was doing the same course. A decent bloke, if in an average way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarapoa Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 This lad was sitting in Heathrow yesterday waiting for the same flight as me.He had around ten mates with him, all with Scottish accents.They all sat up in the front of the plane to Vegas - beyond the pleb curtain.Nice lad - treating his mates like that now he’s on 100k-a-week or whatever. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
