Folks, In 2007 we walked from Somerset Park to Hampden in memory of Ally MacLeod and to raise awareness of Alzheimer's, and with the help of the fellow foot soldiers we raised over £27,000 for Alzheimer's Scotland and Hampden was jumping as they played "We are on the march with Ally's Army" as we handed the cheque over to Ally's wife Faye. The message that day was that Ally is still loved by us all, and we have been trying unsuccessfully for years to get him inducted into the Scottish Football Hall of Fame. Last year, Ally got a good number of the nominations again but wasn't inducted. We asked for a freedom of information act request on the number of votes received but this wasn't recorded by the hall of fame, but to their credit they gave us all the other information. This year we want to step up the campaign and show that Ally deserves his place in the hall of fame. We have had some Ally masks made for us (ready to wear) and we are hoping that we can start the ball rolling with this and that 100's of Ally's will turn up in Dublin in June and at Hampden thereafter. It will be fun but at the same time hopefully get a message across to the media there. The picture for the masks was picked by the MacLeod family and shows a smiling, happy Ally. Can you help spread the word and join us in our quest. Any profit from the production of the masks will be donated yet again to Alzheimer's Scotland. We also have an online petition on Change.org that we intend to hand to the Hall of Fame once the inductions commence later this year. http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=251923818475 Let's go on the March with Ally's Army again.........
