buddieup 425 Report post Posted October 3, 2010 The great comedian was a St Mirren Fan. It says so in the Sunday Mail page 38. He's sung club songs for teams such as Hearts and Dundee. He should do one for us. If he's still alive that is, I have no real idea how old he is. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

St. Sid 3,502 Report post Posted October 3, 2010 He died in the mid 80's I think. Disappointing that he never got the recognition he deserved. His funniness lasted a lifetime unlike that shitehoose Billy Connolly. Hector had real tragedy in his life with the random murder of his son by some dafty scumbag. Whereas that c*ck connolly invented his own imaginary tragedy through dodgy regression sessions with celebrity therapist Pamela Stevenson in a dire but successful attempt to sell shite self-help / overcoming life's tragedies nonsense. Hector was indeed a comedy legend and far more important than Billy "windswept @rsehole" Connolly. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jocky looks like Hector Nicol.I remember Jocky not giving the ball back at Cappielow as full time was approaching and we were winning.It was new years day and he was driving our bus that day and i remember thinking oor drivers feckin nuts.He has become a good friend of mine over the years and i very quickly realised he is truly bonkers.His brother in law John Muir has just arrived from Canada and is also Saints daft.He will be at the Hamilton game so heres hoping he can bring us some luck.He is a member on Black and White and reads the forums so welcome home John and Linda.Have a great holiday. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
santaponsasaint 5,188 Report post Posted October 4, 2010 Was working in the elbow room in the 80s and Hector done the cabaret, Tee-total, only thing he had was a pot of tea, and when he went on stage he looked more pished than the punters, a true legend of Scottish comedy 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Isle Of Bute Saint 9,955 Report post Posted October 4, 2010 (edited) Met the great man when I did a support slot at the Friershall gig. Did not recognize him earlier that day as he looked completely different from what he does when on stage. The stage is where this man came alive. Also did not know he was a St Mirren fan Edited October 4, 2010 by Lochwinnoch Saint 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He most certainly is ! Used to love Mock the Week to see the other"comedians" wincing at some of his gags.
