I think sometimes he was worth a goal of a start to Neilston due to the opposition being unnerved at him shouting cryptic stuff about balanced insteps.

glensmad Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Oh that's very sad news. I always liked to stand near him and listen to his constant instructions to the team, most of which made no sense at all, but I absolutely admired his passion for his team. And he always had a smile and a pleasant word for me. RIP big guy. [emoji26] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glensmad Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 "Line O""Space between""Toes facing it"Some of the big guy's phrases which he said about 200 times each game and always made me chuckle. A real character. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul wright scores Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 (edited) Sad news. What a lovely man he was. I knew him through the football and swimming at Neilston baths - well he spent most of the time talking. Always enjoyed talking about football with him. RIP big man.

kilsyth ranger Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 just realised who this was ,older grey haired bespectacled guy who used to shout 'all up nielston ' and various other phrases at the games? every time we visited brig o lea he was there cheering on his team and giving advice on where they were going wrong, another character sadly gone, r.i.p . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
