Boris Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Wooft! From ?29.90! Think the library might be the best option! Cheers. I think it may be out of print, going by that on Amazon. You could try Waterstones and they could see if they have a copy, or there are a couple of second hand book shops in the West Port that may have it. It cost me ?15 in 2006 brand new.

this_is_my_story Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 That's the one. Blue and I both played for Huthison Vale. And Gareth Hutchison who I mentioned earlier played against Hearts for Stenhousemuir in 1996 (CCC game - went to penalties). Did Gareth play for Hutchie Vale as well? I could be wrong, but the name definitely rings a bell. Also, I remember another lad who I think was from Saughton, called Billy (cannae mind the surname) who played for Hutchie. Big laddie for his age at the time, and I remember him scoring with a free kick from around the half way line on the old pitch at Ford's Road! Maybe the same Billy that others have referred to in this thread? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the same Billy that others have referred to in this thread? I don't think so mate; if he did I certainly can't remember it, and he was a year older than me anyway. He was cracking player though, ended up at Falkirk for a bit, but really played well at Tynecastle that night. We were 2-0 down in the shoot-out! Re Malcolm Cant, what I love about his writing is the hostility he shows towards idiotic planners and council officials. It's an incredible book.

Locky Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 I assume The Busy Bee is long gone now? I had to look it up to see where it was. Not overly familiar with that part of town but one of those pubs I've always heard of. Crofters is another. Although am I right in saying that's now the Beijing Banquet at Calder Road? I worked in Grayfield House for a couple of years until lockdown and sadly never took in the local delights of The Silver Wing or The Artful Dodger.

Artful dodger I heard can be a bit dodgy, my uncle drank in there for many years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
