Glasgow Hi Webmaister, just read all posts
from John St school. Brought back so many
memories. Your photograph of 1970 football
team were all in my year as well as your
sister Linda.
For Victor Docherty the boy front row no 5
was Alistair Dougall and not James Wooodburn
as they both lived beside me in Forrest
Street, Mile End. I was neighbours with your
friend Edward Hunter.
