Bosko 1 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Bertie Auld is a member of same golf course as me, played a tournament with him once, was a nice enough old guy but spent a lot of time telling us about how Celtic supporters clubs fly him all over the world to play golf, the practice obviously hasn't done him any good Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redsox1 1,361 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Davie Weir (blue nose ) but played for celtic boys ! only for a few games.I think they told him he was a porker as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Beast 9,370 Posted February 4, 2012 Author Share Posted February 4, 2012 Hes not, Op's talking pish.Maybe - wouldn't be the first time!I thought I'd heard that he was a Rangers fan as a boy.As for Hartson re a previous post, I remember seeing a cribs type documentary about him at home and he had lots of framed shirts on the wall one of which was a Richard Gough one from the first champions league when he said Rangers were his second team after Swansea. I'm sure he also spoke about his massive disappointment when we didn't sign him (on the same day we signed R De Boer) because of some bogus fears about his knee then O'Neill stepped in and the rest is history.

minstral 5,375 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 I am sure that Bertie Auld and Tommy Gemmell got sent home for singing the Sash on a plane while on a Celtic tour in the sixties. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redsox1 1,361 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Can't see Broon8 being a bear after the whole Broony thing.not now, but he did sit along from me in the front of the copland for a few games when he was younger. One of his mates sat right behind me and he sometimes got one of their seasons. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were all hardcore bears.Agree that none of then will be now. Also heard that there are members of Craig Burleys family in darkest Ayrshire who still will not speak to him to this day.

McInally was apparerently a real blue nose as a boy. I'd of taken him as a Rangers player as well. Under-rated in my opinion. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

harlands plater 17,065 Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 i remember we auld walking down past a building site one day and the builders calling him all kinds of names including ya f^^^^n bastard and he said to me but iam an orange bastardI'm glad someone like Bertie Auld jumped the dyke - he was one of the dirtiest players in the game. He went over the top and broke big Davie Provan's leg - and did it to others as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
