Anyone still alive from that period????

Knew alot of guys that stayed there in the 70's and 80's,remember the park in the middle ,just broken glass and burned oot cars,use to be some decent footballers back then,mikey whyte,Willie Burns..Tony Camilleri(???).use to be some cracking 15 a side games between hunters and muirton at the old firing range behind the jeanfield swifts pitch

Use to be a cracking chippy at hunters run by the cavellini's,they owned the paper shop as well(looked like the shop from open all hours)

Then at muirton anyone remember the mini market...sold everything my grandad use to take me there to buy airfix kits when in was a kid and how many times did the chippy at muirton catch fire?????
