There was a Scotland Fire Brigade team. Balfour used to play in it with Meadowbank's Jim McQueen and Cove Rangers' Mike Megginson. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamthebam Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Steve Godden who played with Edinburgh University and Edinburgh City became an STV news reporter. Some historical ones: RL Small played as a goalie for St Bernards became a Minister and was Moderator of the General Assembly one year. High Court Judge Lord Wheatley played for Shettleston in his youth. Edinburgh City goalkeeper in the late 30s Desmond White later became chairman of Celtic. IIRC John Clark of Dundee United worked on a fishing boat. Former Dunbar United player Calum Easter is an up and coming DJ and singer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a c**t this guy sounds. "After retiring as a footballer, Stillie became a lawyer. He acted in defence of the footballers David Goodwillie and David Robertson, who were accused of rape.[8][9] This legal case made history as the first time a rape complainant had successfully sued the accused for civil damages.[10] As part of the defence of Goodwillie, Stillie as his solicitor lodged court proceedings to seek to revoke legal aid support from the accuser.[11] In November 2019, Stillie announced that he would be contesting the general election as the Conservative candidate for the Central Ayrshire constituency.[12] Stillie finished in second place as the incumbent MP, Philippa Whitford, was re-elected.[13]" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to see him on occasion in the Broxden cafe, having top level signing talks with prospective signings. An ex Arbroath player I know cannot speak highly enough of him as a manager - the less said about Moore the better though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
