Meadows Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Our 1954 & 1956 cup winning captain sadly passed away earlier today . Aged 91 , Freddie was a colussus in our defence , with a team of fantastic players around him he more than held his own . The last of our ‘56 legends, he will be sadly missed around Broxburn and Gorgie . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bridge of Djoum Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 i had the pleasure and honor of meeting Mr Glidden and Dave Mackay on McLeod Street after the 98 cup win.

Norm Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Met him and Dave MacKay at a function for Freddie at Craigmillar Hearts in the early 2000s. Both of them gentlemen. I was in mid 20s but still felt like a daft wee laddie going up to these men and asking for an autograph. Condolences to his family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnB Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 (edited) One of our true greats who will be sadly missed. RIP Freddie. PS Freddie was paid £66 for winning the Scottish Cup in '56 which equates to £1152 today. Wonder what a present day player would be paid for that achievement? Maybe a bit more than £1152?

Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 His daughter was a nurse in Aberdeen Royal Infirmary. Was a credit to her dad.

loveofthegame Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Captain of the league cup winning side my Grandad played in in 1954. I think he was the last surviving member of that team, which makes me incredibly sad. Hope to see them all “behind the goals” one day... RIP Freddie.

I briefly worked with his aforementioned wife, Rosa, when I temped at Companies House in 1990. I was in awe of her, never mind her husband! There was no need though as she was a lovely woman. Never had the pleasure of meeting our legendary skipper and I’ve no idea if Rosa is still with us, but if she is, my thoughts with her and the family. Get what you’re saying re football and it’s rewards these days. Can you imagine a modern day WAG having to work until pension age?
