I think it was in a match against Airdrie in 2013 but would need to double check. Brian McPhee went on to be a firefighter later but Evan Balfour was a FT firefighter whilst PT with Airdrie. Good interview with him on the Only The Lonely podcast about the implications. In our hybrid season I don't really know much about outside work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure he turned down multiple full time offers over the years. Think it was plumbing he worked in. According to a Bloo Toon director four years ago, he was on £650 a week. Decent money for the free-scoring diving b*****d. Scores every time he plays against QP. The diving b*****d. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read on here a couple of years ago that Chris Templeman is a school janitor. Correct on the 2nd one. My mum is friends with his Maw. He's sound as f**k, but he played for the pars, so f**k him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DG.Roma Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Surprising variety of jobs here, almost all the part time players I hear talking about their day jobs these days are fitness instructors. Plenty of personal trainers too, even some gym instructors. Plus Bobby Linn's a bin man. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebobsboy Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Crawford Baptie worked in a garage when he played with us, he never went full time. Yet he was still probably one of the most underrated players we ever had. Sure Stevie Aitken ex Dumbarton manager had a good job with Rolls Royce. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Carrigan Posted February 8, 2021 Author Share Posted February 8, 2021 They're not at Clyde anymore, but Darren Smith is a PE teacher, Andy Munro is an Openreach engineer, Jack Breslin is/was a sparky of some sort, JP McGovern owned a cafe in Glasgow, Scott Durie is an accountant working for that Sportex company that lays artificial turf. Also I thought Goodwillie was an apprentice sparky rather than a bogus gas man. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty hefty wage I would imagine, a few people I know that work for Milne are pretty well off. I'm sure Peterhead paid him not far off a full time wage also, may be wrong though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cant fault Rory for putting his family first, believe he was on good money with us although possibly exaggerated by some but was worth paying top dollar for an outstanding goal scorer, He turned down moves to finish his apprenticeship in a trade that will stand him in good stead when his boots are hung up. Sad to say even his move to Cove was too good to turn down, something like 3.5 year contract still on good money at an age his nest is probably behind him. As far as i believe he turned down full time at St Mirren poor deal & Dundee United as it was only a year contract. Rory found his niche and although could have moved up levels was happy with what he had and good on him for it. Its guys that go to big clubs for cash & spend years either sitting on the bench or waiting to be discarded again those are the losers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with your analysis and views on "the losers" as compared to Rory, but was it a Freudian slip to mistype "nest" when I assume you meant "best" ? Hope to see a streamed game from Balmoor before too long? Best wishes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our stream was not great for a start but was much better before the shut down 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it might get 18 games but 27 looks beyond L1 resources etc. Cheers 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
