Good Luck Alex Smith

[Jupiter]

He was lifted twice for it.

The real gossip though was that there was someone else with him there that wasn’t charged. So the story goes anyway. I’ve absolutely no idea if it’s true & there’s no way I’d slander the former player, rangers captain or not.

His name wouldn't be similar to cough would it?

Nope.

Bet you weren’t expecting that

He was meant to be one of the refs at the '86 world cup but missed out as he was struck off due to his 'improprieties' so too early for it to have been the gentleman you are alleging.

Nope.

Bet you weren’t expecting that

no I wasn't. So give us a clue about who it is.

A long time ago min! Well before social media and with a surname like Smith or indeed a married name of which I have no clue will be impossible to find.

I googled McGinlay. I remember him being my old boy's favourite ref. Hard to believe he is still involved with football and giving after dinner speeches after all that nonsense he got involved in !
