I seem to recall it was round about then, but as I age, my time line recollection is increasingly unreliable.

In other news, today's Herald On Sunday (named for auld radges like Sneckie who admits, just about, that he disna ken fit day it is) reports this:
"Meanwhile, Rangers have reportedly fended off stiff competition from Premier League clubs to sign Aberdeen talent Lancelot Pollard.
We revealed in April how the Ibrox club were looking to beat Liverpool to sign the highly-rated youngster.
Now, reports suggest that Rangers have managed to do just that, with Manchester United also said to have been firmly in the running.
Pollard is said to have impressed several times for the Dons’ under-18 side last season.
He quickly emerged as one of their best young prospects, so it’s without doubt a blow for Aberdeen to lose the ****ager.
Rangers will pay their Premiership rivals a six-figure development fee, according to the report."

Just the forward line of Bunn, Wackett, Buzzard, Stubble, and Boot.

Proper Mannies’ 2-3-5.

“You even called our son ‘Barnestoneworth’”

“Aye, but he’s got another name”

“What sort of bloody name is ‘United’?”

Anyway, it got me thinking, he got the jail at one time did he nae?

Definitely.

I remember playing Blackjack one night in Stakis, and I did not recognise him at first, but a mate pointed out that it was Dave Smith sitting at our table, and that he had just been released from Jail that week.

Would have to been Mid-80s ?

I seem to recall it was for fraud when he was working as a taxi driver.

He must have returned to Taxi-ing as I remember him working for Airport Taxis after that.

Paul Hartley has escaped the horrors of Sevcove, to follow in Tattie’s footsteps by taking on the Hartlepool United gig.
