The Widow's Son 399 Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Met Jimmy Millar and Ralph Brand when I was very young; too young in fact to remember a great deal about that. Also met Colin Jackson and Alex Miller at the airport when I was a teenager. Colin Jackson was very nice and took the time to speak to me for a few minutes and was happy to sign autographs. In fact, he was my favourite player after that. Also met Ally Scott at the airport and he told me to stick in at school and go to college. A very nice man and good advice (which I never took).Failed my prelims Loyal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeds_Bear 8,103 Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 You canny leave it at that mate, c'mon spill the beans.It was a surreal night mate. I was 17 and one of my pals in London sorted us VIP at a club where Sean Wright Phillips birthday party was. Was there a good hour and in came Gazza. Had to go up and thank the man for everything he did for the club and to tell him he was my hero when I was growing up. Ended up sitting with him most of the night had a video on my phone of him playing the flute (which I have now lost ) . Was kind of sad when I think back to it though, He was falling about the place and wasn't really all there upstairs. Will always be a legend in my eyes though.

The Widow's Son 399 Posted August 11, 2012 Author Share Posted August 11, 2012 Really think this guy is a timposter Ally Scott was never knowns as anything but Alex ScottAlly Scott played for a short time with Rangers. Although he was never the greatest, he did give it his all. Ended up with Morton. One of the only players I know who had a uni degree. He scored the only goal at Pittodrie on Saturday and in the interview afterward, Jock Wallace was asked about the Aberdeen display. His reply was priceless: "I don't care about Aberdeen".And you think of me as a timposter?The Widow's Son Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
photographystew 8 Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 I trained with Andy Goram at Murray Park a few months ago (being a goalkeeper), ended up with a broken finger after it.Also back in the Alex Mcleish era I saw Ally McCoist playing 5's at Rouken Glen.
