Teamwork Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 I have an uncle in Methven called Frank Robertson and his son, who i,d guess is around 50 is also called Frankie, surely not the same guy or guys - they are no way mentalists !! both Saints supporters though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jings Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 I was at school with Frankie, decent guy. Couldn't believe how much the bevvie changed him. He went from being just one of the crowd, to the loudest gob for miles. There's no way you could miss him in a packed crowd. RIP Frankie.

Betty Lavette Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 This has to be one of the best threads I've read for years. My worry is that I recognise every body that's been mentioned. PC Muir was a legend, unfortunately he new my mum. I remember when you were in the back of the meat wagon he would get the thing up to 30 or 40 mph and them slam the brakes on. He would take you home covered in bruises from the over zealous braking and rattling around in the back and genuinely be able to tell my mum, "honest I never touched the wee b******" mum would then apologise profusely for my behaviour and then proceed to fill in the spaces on my body where there were no bruises, classic. We need more polis like him back on the streets............. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jings Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 One for the older forum members Snitcher never new his real name found dead in the harbour. Never really knew him, but my older brother did. He was a neighbour of ours in Ainslie gardens many moons ago. Must have been around 1971, he "took a dip" while out walking his dog IIRC. Oddly enough the guy rumoured to have done him, was himself snuffed out in Ainslie a while back. All rumours of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SingaporeSaint Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 I had a re read of this today from beginning to end, absolutely classic and probably the best non saints football threads ever on WAP. Has anybody seen Gibby recently ? Gibby was barman in the Victoria Hotel during the early eighties. We always used to congregate there on a Saturday night as under-agers. Quite a number of our present posters will remember. It had a great jukebox and how The House of the Rising Sun never wore out Gibby was a big Saints fan and because he knew us from the terraces or buses, had no problem in serving us lot in the secrecy of the snug. Gibby was a bit "shaky" even back then so hopefully he has survived and still alive and kicking. Wouldn't be surprised if he still goes to the odd game. A true gentle guy.
