Claim To Fame |
Once managed to ‘release’ the best part of 6 pints onto
the central reservation of the M8 en route to Ibrox and
still catch up with the car he was travelling in ('To be
fair, it was a Boxing Day fixture with heavy tailbacks,
so I didn’t have to be Linford Christie!')
|
Road To The Real |
An old friend of Bill Ryan - they went to Craigmount
together, were each other's Best Man and watched Hibs
together |
