I just posted to say that the obituaries, particularly in the Guardian, for him are genuinely moving. I wondered what became of Kevin. From it's launch, I took the Scotland on Sunday paper and the tag team of Kevin and Graham brought joy to this eager reader and it is with fondness and admiration that I recall what Kevin shared. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamthebam Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 I thought he'd died years ago. I never liked him for some reason, or perhaps no reason ( I believe there's a thread for this pish) although I admired him a little bit when he got done for the hookers.

Had a drink with him a couple of times with a photographer pal of mine who also worked for the Guardian. A really sound guy and an excellent writer. Alzheimer's at 62. Fucking hell. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qos_75 Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Hopefully the congregation will serenade him (as the coffin is carried out of the church) with the timeless classic: “Frank Bough is having a party. He’s got hookers and he’s got Charlie”. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagfox Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Frank B'offed? I remember watching Breakfast Tv when it started. Shame about Kevin McCarra a very good writer and even got a Jags season ticket when he retired back to Glasgow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
