Sharpie Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 1 hour ago, N Lincs Jambo said: I was good mates at school with the eldest son of the goalkeeper D Dewar in this photo (also used to go to Hearts games with him). I think @bobsharp knew him from his police days?? Pretty sure his middle son is the current CEO of Edinburgh Airport. Dougie in the photo was a golfing and drinking buddy of my father’s back in the 70s. Yes I knew Dewar to some extent, most of them played as I did in their Divisional team, so we met in games. J Hall I am sure was the man who joined ECP after a career with Queen of the South. My self description of me as a football player was big strong and slower than a snail. Never coached at any stage in his life and it showed, but keen and tried hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As can be seen it's across Earl Grey Street from Central Hall at Tollcross. So possibly from Riego Street. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No wonder I had no joy, it’s gone Great detective work I think what's also confusing (well, for me anyway) are the road inclines, both going up the Cowgate (steeper) and up St Mary's Street (flatter) than how you perceive it today. Camera angle maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
