Stanley
Memories
Tony
Scott. Not born in Stanley but spent my formative years
there.
The
berries - Long hot summer days picking the fruit to make ends meet for my
Mum to get us school uniforms for the next year at school.
Brian
Roy falling asleep at the wheel of Curries milk van one winter's
morning. God I got a fright! Lindsay Roy, blonde haired student doing
the milk round during Brian's summer holidays. We thought he was a cool
guy. Now the Rector at Inverkeithing High School. (You've come a
long way from that beat up VW Beetle).
Stanley
Rovers and United. The smallest football league in the world made the
front page of the Daily Record with the 10p transfer between teams.
The 10p man was born.
The
Army Cadets at Dunkeld. Chic McDonald - thanks my friend for giving us
such an exciting time. Magic days!
Sorting
out the papers in a wee hut at the back of Haggarts. Papers were late
on a Thursday because I'd be reading something young boys shouldn't read at
that age. Still it's only recently that I have come to need glasses.
Speaking
of glasses the rumour that I broke Mr Munro's glasses were greatly exaggerated.
The biggest fear was the belt from big UG, the woodwork teacher - a man
mountain.
Hello
to old pals - Lush, Fifi, D Hughes, J Devine, T Dunbar, 10p man, H Murray,
Bugsy.
