bingboy Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 Maybe not a good day historically but what about 4th Dec 1999 - St Mirren 2 Falkirk 1 Basher scores the winner to keep our run to the 1st Division title on track at around about the same time as my son was born (4.14 pm). Needless to say I missed the game and my pleas to call him Barry fell on deaf ears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HSS Posted December 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 (edited) If your son is a Saints fan there is always this option when he is 16. At least that way you are not to blame. http://www.deedpoll.org.uk/CanIChangeMyChildsName.html Maybe he might change it to Basher. Anyday that Saints win is a historic day - my two kids were also born on days that Saints won! Any Saints win is a historic day!!!!!

windae cleaner Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 Thomas Brooks Craig was playing for Hibs that day. He would one day help a team from Paisley win the League Cup. Hard to believe only 2,631 supporters were at Easter Road. It was lashing down with rain that day. They shut off the away end behind the goals. They put us in the enclosure beneath the Main Stand. This was the scariest game of fitba i have ever been to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I was in first year when he left School and went straight to play for Leicester City. I think he was a schoolboy international. He played for Leicester for about five or six years. I remember him signing for St.Mirren, I think when we were second division. I never saw him play. I was still playing football when he was at Love Street. My surname is not unlike his and a lot of people used to think I was his younger brother. Funnily I was offered a trial with Leicester City but had a bad ankle injury at the time and it never transpired. His younger brother was Chasa, also at Camphill , who was a real character.

We drank in the Wee Howff, and Danny broke with tradition and opened on a Sunday for the pre- and post-match custom. The place was mobbed as we waited for the supporters bus to roll up, and it was double rounds a-go-go. We got back and everyone was in great form but Danny eventually took the huff at the (inoffensive) singing and closed up. I was raging after this as he had opened the pub specifically to make a few quid from the Saints support, and we had the till bursting at the seems. It was a bit much to then be told that our very good natured singing and carry on was upsetting the other customers! I boycotted the Howff for about 3 weeks after that, with the Bull getting my custom and that of a few mates, but people eventually trickled back. I was one of the last, but the problem for me was that many of my mates didn't bother about the football so didn't share my indignation. On reflection, I was probably being as petty as Danny, but hey ho! Absolutely shocking weather, though. I'm not sure if I've entirely dried out even yet.
