Guy couldn't remember who he was. Lambie told him he was Pele and sent him back on. Dickie1963, Gman36, Oaktreeloyal and 3 others 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEFTONG 60,108 Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 I can remember working on the roof at Whitburn Academy school right next to his house and he gave me the imaginary flute when one Friday I was hanging out the side if the van shouting on "Lambie gies the Sash". Still don't know if I forgave him for being the Hamilton manager that knocked us out the Scottish Cup on the same day Chris Woods set his shutout record. But I loved hearing about him giving his captain at thistle dogs abuse for being a TARRIER. R.I.P. Johnny Lambie. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
