    And while on the subject of graves, in Hawkhead Cemetery you will find this one for Andy Reid.
    Andy played 260 games for Saints before becoming trainer to John Cochrane during the 20s. As a management team they guided Saints to victory in Barcelona in 1922 and the Scottish Cup in 1926 before heading south to reform the partnership with Cochrane at Sunderland in 1929.
    At Roker Park they became the first management team to win the Scottish Cup and the FA Cup when Sunderland triumphed in 1937 having already won the First Division in 1936.
    Andy returned to Love Street in the 1940s and helped guide the team to the Summer Cup in 1943 before retiring at the age of 68 in 1950.

    Also in Woodside.
    Just as you enter the cemetery and follow the road up to the left. On your left hand side their is a similar 'broken column' memorial to another Saints player, Tommy Workman.
    Tommy was just 24 years old when he died following complications of appendicitis in 1934. 
    On the side of the memorial is an inscription to his three year old daughter who sadly died of scarlet fever just three weeks after her Dad,

    They won a raffle to sponsor the kits in the late 90s then sold the sponsorship to either Cetco or Arriva, can't remember which year it was.

    But if you're looking for a team. This is it

    A choice of two decent keepers.
    Young and Beckett at full back.
    Copland Reid Dunlop Fulton and McCormack all capable in the central defence slots.

    Midfield......... Spoilt for choice.
    Fitzy Aber Lexy Stark Scanlon Speirs

    Up front a combination we can only dream of today.
    Somner McDougall McAvennie with Supersub for the 2nd half!

    No. Cancelled due to fixture congestion meaning clubs wouldn't release players for the select side.

    As would I. The 'quote' doesn't bother me at all. Probably said something about playing in front of big crowds inspired him. He didn't play at Parkhead so Ibrox was the biggest crowd.
