Buffs Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 Was at a sportsmans dinner last night in Kilwinning to raise money for local Scouts group. Peter Martin, Tam Cowan and George McNeill were the speakers. Peter is excellent at being the MC, very quick witted and picks out his prey from the audience early on. Tam was outstanding. I had heard he can sometimes be a hit or a miss but was on top form last night with his non PC humour. For the auction he brought a signed Motherwell top which one of my mates won for £80. Decent price. I was also sitting at a table with Alan Mahood. For an ex-ton he was a decent guy with some amusing stories. I've been to a few of these nights and would say Peter Martin, Tam Cowan and Alan Rough have been the best speakers. Any other recommendations?

Hambud Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 John Gahagan ex Motherwell and Morton is a very good one, He is hilarious the first time you see him, though second time I saw him it was almost exactly the same routine. Willie Young ex referee is pretty good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longtimecoming Posted January 15, 2018 Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 Thought Cowan was poor when I seen him. John Gaghan, Bill Leckie and John Rowbotham were my personal favourites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffs Posted January 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 I saw John Gahagan a few years ago. He was very good, quite an aggressive delivery and every sentence had the f word at least twice. Still good though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffs Posted November 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2018 Great night in Houston last night. Chick held an interview style chat with Steven and Barry talking about growing up together and both playing number 9 for their beloved St Mirren. Obviously ripping the pish out of one another. A quick vote of the 200 guests put Barry as the bigger St Mirren legend. Great food and drink and the guest speakers were excellent. Chick was on great form. Very quick witted.Wallet a bit lighter and head a bit delicate today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuddieinEK Posted October 29, 2022 Report Share Posted October 29, 2022 Was at my fourth tonight... Guest speakers were Tam Cowan and Pierluigi Collina! Mind you... Collina reminded me a lot of former ref John Rowbotham, his mentor! The night was riotlessly funny... Pee your pants funny! Colli... Errrr Rowbotham regaled us with tale after tale from his refereeing days. Animated. Enigmatic. Engaging. Helluva funny too. Cowan headlined. He wasn't as bad as I feared! He was actually ok. I quite liked him. He was funny. He made me laugh till I hurt laughing! It was the perfect comedy routine. I loved it! (A wee nod to Waldorf and Statler there) Grrat night all round, in aid of two local charities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
