With the Commonwealth Games coming to Glasgow, it reminded me of a rumour I heard that Sir Hoy is of the Yammish persuasion, is this true? Still a great representative for Scotland either way of course.

Chris Hoy isn't really a football fan, but his family are of a Jambo persuasion.
I do remember him saying he was a bit embarrassed to be called a jambo, I would as well.
100% of the yammish persuasion. But in a talking about it in the snug sort of way rather than an attender of games. Source? A guy I met on the train on the way back from the Aberdeen semi a few years ago who claimed to work for his sponsors. Hed been at the yam celtc game.
Was he not paraded at one of their games after he'd won his Olympic medals?
He was. He also attended George Watson's whose colours are maroon.Quote:

But, he's such a legend that the fact he's a jambo is irrelevant.
I mind when Andy Murray had won something big (his first major I think) he had to make sure that he was pictured doing a 5-1 at the airport for the corner of the same page of the papers.
The jambo fud can GIRFUH.
I attended Leith Academy but I don't support Rangers....:greengrinQuote:

Can't remember exactly what he said, but along the lines, I think, of not wanting to get suckered into that again, and not wanting it to be used to wind people up, or something like that.Quote:

Anyway, I'm in the 'he's a superb sportsman, seems like a decent chap, and he can support who he likes' camp.
