Well yes, my brother and uncle don't make that list, and i'm sure nobody else on this site would be too interested if they were on it. But lots of people we all grew up with and had some sort of impact on many lives. Doesn't make our friends and families any less worthy.

Drew BusbyOriginally posted by Donanddusted View PostA lot of pysh: "notable".
Those mums, dads, aunts, uncles, brothers, sisters and children were all "notable" for those who lost them.
A man who played for the axis of evil with Hearts, Airdrie & Morton, yet still had the strength of character for everyone to overlook that & love him to bits. Genuinely the nicest person you could meet.
Played 178 games for Hearts, no medals.

I was reading the terrific Ghosts Of Cathkin Park just before Busby died last year. He scored Third Lanark’s last-ever goal against Mason’s lot in a 1-5 away defeat.
We found out about Thirds’ demise as we left Hampden after my first Scottish Cup final on 29.04.67. My uncle’s Ford Anglia was parked at Cathkin Park. It was an impressive enough ground, having been Queens Park’s second Hampden (the first a bowling club over at Mount Florida recently saved from demolition) before they moved to the big ****er that is now owned by the SFA. I still walk the offspring’s dog around Cathkin Park.
The book is well worth a read.

I read a throwaway comment elsewhere today about him being poorly. A thorn in our side, and even if he turned us down to become a tim when his Anfield adventure went paps up, there was always a tiny grudging respect for him among the Reds.Originally posted by stewarty27 View PostFrank McGarvey
A problem though, for Coonty cooncil planners in deciding whether or not to re-name a half dozen Westhill streets for Andy Harrow instead.

I first heard this sang on the slow boat to Gothenburg, The late journo Ian Archer (fellow sailor) said it was the best fitba song he' ever heard, He then proceeded to woof down another 4 duty free double drams. Good guy,Originally posted by stewarty27 View PostGlasgow Celtic are funny

I'm gutted at hearing that one. A big Associates/Billy MacKenzie fan. Got a copy of the Sulk 40th anniversary edition last year, signed by Rankine and Michael Dempsey. Just coming up to 26 years since MacKenzie too his life too.Originally posted by 57vintage View PostThat’ll be 64 year old Alan Rankine from The Associates joining the ranks of fallen Dundee musicians including Gus Foy, Dougie Martin, Billy Mackenzie, Michael Marra, and Robbie McIntosh, then.
Boooooo.
RIP

S27. I remember talking to said Journo on the boat - I had met him a year previously in Spain Which he remembered and wrote about it in the matchday program (was it called The Don then?).Originally posted by stewarty27 View PostI first heard this sang on the slow boat to Gothenburg, The late journo Ian Archer (fellow sailor) said it was the best fitba song he' ever heard, He then proceeded to woof down another 4 duty free double drams. Good guy,
I think McGarvey and Mcgoo were very similar players probably didn't realise McGarvey was the good guy of the two back then.
