Who was the best manager you played under?
Jimmy Nicholl.
Tell us about your favourite goal for the Rose?
Was more an important goal than a favourite, Neilston away the year
we won the Scottish.
And you liked a tackle, tell us about your favourite challenge in a
Rose jersey?
I remember a certain Auchinleck player telling me what he was
going to do to me early in the 6-1 match. He wasn’t as forthright
when he hobbled passed me as he left the Rose club afterwards...
Do you remember your last game for the Rose?
Not 100% sure but think it might have been Bathgate in a cup tie we
lost on penalties.
There was no shortage of characters at Prestonfield when you were
a player - tell us a couple of your favourite memories of the dressing
room antics at that time?
I’m saving all the Whytie stories for my book so it has to be the bus
trip back from Sunnybank. By the time we reached the Forth Bridge,
the cargo of alcohol had somewhat taken its toll on Herdy who proceeded to march down to the front of the bus completely starkers
and fired off 20 naked star jumps for the committee and their wives’
entertainment. Legend.
If you had to pick a Rose select from your time at the club what
would the line-up be?
Playing 4-2-3-1 I’d go with
Buzz Lamont
Kevin Gibson, Ian Gallacher, Davy Beaton, Davy Finlayson
Graeme Landels, Danny Smith
Mark Whyte, Marc Corcoran
Ian (Boris) McGlaughlin
Davy Flynn
We see you at the games from time to time - how do you normally spend your Saturday afternoons these days?
I never seem to be too far from Prestonfield these days actually. I have family down here that I visit and I still try to keep
fit with a (slow) run round the loch occasionally. And the wife and I still enjoy a day out down the High Street followed
by a trip to the Champany.
