Kirk Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 (edited) Sorry to hear that mate. Sounds like a legend for sneaking you to France haha. What a great memory to have. RIP and thoughts with you and your family. Edit to add I did think this was going to be someone who still hasn't came home from Portugal.

Jacques Hunt Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Sorry for your loss and definitely no need to apologise. You got me thinking about my own grandad who gave me his Scottish Rosette which had been to the '67 Wembley game. Different sort of culture in those days but I've still got that rosette. Don't see them nowadays!! Take it easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SheepieTartanArmy Posted October 20, 2015 Author Share Posted October 20, 2015 Thank you so much. Gonna be hard when we start clearing the house as they're so much memorys from his Scotland games. He called me a jammy git a few weeks back because I go to all the games now and it just reminded him of his glory days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
