June 2012, extract from
email, Brian Piggot, Toronto, Canada
I am Brian Piggot originally of
Landressy St now just outside Toronto Canada .
I have received much pleasure looking at your
great site over the years and thank you for
your commitment to preserving not just Glasgow
history but its peoples history .
My late father Thomas Piggot was
born on Kerr St in July 1934 and
raised at 549 London Rd attending John St
Secondary . Dad was a member
of the 155 BB out of Bridgeton Methodist next
to my old home at 30 Landressy .
I have attached pis of two John St fitbaw
teams I dont have exact years for the teams .
I think St 1 was about 1949 with dad seated on
ground left side , the other about 1947 dad
seated on ground rt side .
I have some fitbaw pics of when John St
won City Championships that i will have
to search my sisters house for .
I hope these pics can be of some
use. All the best, Brian

May 2016, email, Alison
Maxwell, age 47, Morristown, USA
Spotted my Dad
in the John Street Secondary School
Fitba team photo (c1949).
He is James (Jim) Flanagan,
sitting in the second row, no. 6. He went
on to be a pretty good football player!
The 'scabby knee' is typical of him; he
suffered several broken legs and broken
noses during his football career! After
football he took up marathon running and
laterally cycling. He still lives in
Glasgow, doing well at age 82.
I'm the youngest
of Jim's 3 daughters, now living in the
USA but returning to Glasgow often.
