I've met Bertie Auld a few times and he's a lovely, lovely man. I've met Bertie Auld once, and he offered me a square go. He was brilliant, a lovely man. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiegoDiego Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 I've met Bertie Auld once, and he offered me a square go. He was brilliant, a lovely man.I met his brother at a Lambhill bus stop. Didn't outright say who his brother was, just that he managed Thistle when I said I was a Jags fan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comrie Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 (edited) Don Cowie was a bit of an arsehole at school, liked throwing his weight around as one of the football players. He's apparently sound now, and Dingwall Academy had a habit of turning most people into c***s while they were there.

Craig Levein was surprisingly very nice. On the other hand Neil Lennon was an absolute cock when I had the misfortune of meeting him at a game, complained about everything that day, even the grass was to hard, the perimeter wall was too close to the pitch, and shockingly a few kids had the temerity to have asked for his autograph which was also a fault. Wee Hearts fanny Kris O Neil who scored one goal giving it the big do you know who I am in Eros/Elite in early 2000s, naw lad, nobody knows who you are, jog on. The biggest bell end of the lot though was the dreadful Anthony Stokes, I saw first hand him start a fight in a pub only to shite it and run behind his group of mates who bailed him out, seemingly that's his modus operandi. Grade A c**t. This reminds me of years ago when The Mrs and I were in Molly Malones,next to Sauchiehall Street and Neil Lennon,John Hartson,Johan Mjallby and about a dozen hangers on were being loud and obnoxious. Neil Lennon barged past the Mrs to get served first only for her indoors to tell him to wait in line. A wee war of words broke out between us and the group with the Mrs declaring "I don't care if you are Neil Lennon or John Lennon,you don't jump the queue to be served first". The hangers on didn't take this too kindly although Neil himself defused the situation to be fair...and he waited his turn lol. One of my good pals was best man at Derek Ferguson's wedding,my brother played in boys club teams with Barry,Lee McCulloch,Paul Hartley etc and any football players I have met have been good guys with a few exceptions. The exceptions were Raith Rovers players John McStay and Peter Heatherston who were taking the piss out of Jose Quitongo in Hamilton Palace because he couldn't speak English properly and a few of us took umbrage on Jose' behalf before bouncers defused the situation. Conversely, his cousin Paul McStay who was three years above me at school was a fantastic,modest guy.Probably too modest in a way. Some Accies fans don't like Paul Hartley, but I have always found him ok.After scoring the winner for Celtic at New Douglas Park in the Billy Reid era(I can only remember the score 1-2), he was driving past Peacock Cross and rolled the window down shouting " get it up yae Mitchy".I gave him a jokey Harvey Smith salute and we both laughed.

You should take a listen to his appearance on the football daft podcast where he takes the piss out of himself for the exact same thing. The guy comes across as a proper character and an absolute nutter 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I once had the dubious honour of being in the company of Alan Main many years ago for a few hours and he was one the most obnoxious, arrogant, unlikeable bell ends I have ever met, a few comments out of earshot from his then St Johnstone team mates revealed he was equally unpopular in the dressing room.. an absolute divot of a guy, I bet even his mum thinks he's a dick. No surprise that a so-called professional who threw a game to help his former teammates would be a c**t outwith the game. Cue Saintees fans posting that picture of the p***k...don't bother. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think @Sergeant Wilson’s post which you quoted above pretty much sums him up. There’s the Goram that’s sober and the one that’s had a few. There’s Goram who’s got cash and the one that pisses it up the wall. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
