Popular Post Lerry1971 249 Posted August 20, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 20, 2019 Was privileged to attend this function. Had the meet and greet with Walter and Archie. A couple of gentlemen indeed. To say it was an honour is an understatement. Some of the stories regarding Gazza are absolutely hilarious lol😂. Especially the one when he roamed about parkhead getting whisky from their bar. I was in awe to be in the great man's presence that evening. Nothing was too much trouble for him. Though some of the over zealous security guards were cunts to say the least. All in all a fabulous night, and in the company of the men who delivered 9in a row. Priceless. I know it was a different era back then but Walter didn't half to well eh? Domestically we were unstoppable and barring the marseille fiasco we could well have won the European Cup. Our photo takes pride of place on the mantlepiece.. Thanks again Sir Walter of Carmyle and Manchester. 👍 Paulbrian11, Negri's lovechild, glasgow argyle and 10 others 13 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WATP. Yep agreed. It was also worth noting he remains very bitter regarding our title run in season 2008. When the sfa did fuck all to help our backlog. Utter cunts.

He's not the only one and I agree with him, strange how the mythical tour of Japan is conveniently forgotten when sporting integrity is brought up by Liewell, cheating bas*ards as usual.

TMB 14,167 Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 I went to a charity night with Walter at Ibrox a few year back too. Jim Traynor was asking him questions for a good while then there was the chance to get some pictures with him. He's a class guy.

Heshootshescores 1,905 Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 An absolute gentleman to meet, but as many have found, he can be a hard bastard when the occasion demands. There's signs of similar traits in SG. Lerry1971 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As was the 2008 uefa cup final. Walter was his modest self on how we managed to get there lol. We were a tough nut to crack on our travels in Europe.
