Niyah is playing in Australia these days for a club called Peninsula Power.

Fourth in the Queensland NPL, 14 points behind top spot with 3 games to play but 8 points ahead of 5th placed club so should make the Finals series. They are from then Redcliffe area a bit over 40 kms north of Brisbane.

Oh wow, good on him! That sounds much better than jobbing about the rainy Scottish seaside leagues (as much as I love them).

On August 25th, An Albion Rovers Fans XI will take on JagsForGood (Partick Thistle Fans team) at Maryhill FC’s stadium in a match in memory of former Albion Rovers player and Boxing Champion Willie Limond, with all proceeds going to Scottish Autism and Shelter Scotland
We’ll have more information out soon, including some former players that will be taking part. 

 

We hope to see as many people there as possible all for a good cause and remembering Willie Limond. 

A go fund me has also been set up for anyone who wants to donate to the charities.

Good to hear. Nice to see a player move on and do well. Glad he's getting game time too.

Michael was a smashing player for the Rovers, especially in our promotion season under Paul Martin. Then he "fell out of love with football", left, and promptly signed for Annan Athletic. I'd suppose both of these guys emigrated to Oz for reasons outside of football?

Yeah I always remember he started 99 consecutive games and didn't want another contract after he became disillusioned, that lasted a week before he joined annan.

He was a cracking golfer too, played at Easter Moffat,
