    there was a thread quite a while ago about your first saints game. Well this may take some time, but it's time to write it. I grew up in ibrox with my 2 sisters and my older brother. The Richardson family also lived there. My brother was friends with Ferrier and I was friendly with Keith, young Simon was a few years younger and an extremely nice boy. We all went to the same school and attended the same BB company. We spent a long time in each others company, playing football or just hanging around on the local green. I don't know if their parents are still alive but they were very kind generous people who always gave you a sense that they really cared about all us boys. Sadly a lot of boys were influenced by the old firm but I can remember as if it was yesterday Keith saying to me that he supported St Mirren and would I like to go to a game. I went to my first game and was immediately sold on everything at Love Street. From that day Keith and I went to every game home and away, defiantly wearing our scarves walking to the bus stop at the top of Copland rd. After a few wonderful years Keith decided he was heading to London and unfortunately we haven't seen each other since, but I will always hold him in a special place as he was instrumental in saving me from old firm oblivion.Now back to young Simon, he was quite a bit younger than us but I remember he always came across as a gentle boy and when I saw his photo on the BBC he had inherited the strong family features. Simon came from a Family who worked hard and gave to others with an earthiness and sincerity very rarely seen these days. We have lost one of our own and may His memory be honoured in a way that he would want. I hope that this comes across in the way that it's meant. Simons family and friends are constantly in my thoughts and may your love for one another and the healing of time help you through. God bless you Simon

    You'll never walk alone was sung with gusto in the late 70s and early 80s. I used to love singing it and I was saddened when I found we had dropped it from our repertoire. Another oldie was the one sung to the tune of hey Jude. A comprehensive Scottish cup win against airdrie at Broomfield sticks in my memory where that song reverberated around the ground which had a cracking atmosphere ( 5-0 I think I'm sure Billy stark ran riot although I might have dreamt it)
