Andy Bruce was at Craigmount at the same time as Gordon Marshall, went to Rangers and then Hearts. Played in the 5-4 schoolboys game against England when Paul Rideout scored from about 40 yards.

JamboX2 Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Aye Graeme Souness west to Carrickvale he was in my Brothers year Another player who went to Forresters was Arthur Albison who played fullback for Man U for many years and I remeber had a wee spell with Dundee before he hing up his boots. Another player was Peter Wardlaw, can't remember if he made the first team. My dad let Albiston borrow his boots as they went to the same school and the guy needed a pair for some Scotland youth game at some point.

bajthejambo Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Danny was at Holycross primary as opposed to Trinity (due to family religion) and i'm pretty certain he never went on to Trinity Academy either, much more confident it was Leith Academy (which is strange given the usual path for Holycross pupils is St Thomas'). You can 100% add Scott Wilson to the list of ex-Trinity boys though (i.e. of Rangers and more recently Dunfermline) Danny was at Trinity, he was in the year below me. He played for Leith Athletic the year below me aswell, that may we where you are getting confused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Loblaw Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 By top flight I mean played in either the Scottish or English top league (SPL or Premiership nowadays) My old Alma mater Craigroyston (or Craigie ya bass as it is more popularly known) has produced: Gordon Strachan - various Scott Nisbet - Rangers Kenny Lyall - Rangers & mwell Jimmy Sandison - JTs etc Thats about all I can remember which seems a pretty poor effort from a school that had 1300 pupils back in the 70s/80s.

Sharpie Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Boroughmuir surprisingly enough produced a number in the forties and fifties. Lawrie Reilly, Bill Duff, Dave Walker played for Airdrie, Tommy Preston played for Hibs, there was one guy Ross Cousins was a bit obscure but I seem to remember played for East Fife. Jimmy Clarks also produced a few Bobby Blackwood one for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
