Whatever became of these two mugs after they left us, I know Gray had old Fairbairns off license in Albert Street for a few years but where are they now?
Before I get the usual "who gies a ****" it's just a wee bit of light relief from all this argie bargie that's going on here just now

David Duff went to jail for fraud in 1993.
Doesn't sound like he got any less shady since ...

Jim Gray is still kicking about and goes to games now and again. Despite having called him all sorts of the years, having met him a few times over the past few years he is actually an alright bloke.

Duff is in the property game. My mate worked for him recently, property managing some flats here in Edinburgh.

Though Duff arguably played a greater role in saving us in 1990 than Sir Tom. Had he sold his shares we were dead. End. Of.
He made huge mistakes. Was obviously out of his depth. Which he admits. I remember him at the rally at ER and he was in tears. As a 16 year old I begged him not to sell and in tears he promised not to.

Made bad choices and investments when owners at Hibs but done the right thing in the end by not selling out to the now deid FTB.

I meet Jim Gray and interviewed him around that time. It's fair to say that he and Duff had good intentions but were right royally shafted. Extremely naive springs to mind. Rowland funded the deal and screwed them senseless. When you think back to the share issue and how much the fans put into the club.........
Still wonder now what happened to the land at Straiton? Hands on Hibs (notably Simon Pia and Glen Ross) made some pretty powerful claims about the scale of the proceeds from the sale. Refuted by a poster on this board.

We (as in HFC or Holdings) never owned any land at Straiton.

Interesting, who did own the land that we planned to build a stadium on? Memory is hazy but that suggestion was around for some time after STF acquired Hibs

Incidentally it was Morston that eventually swallowed the £5m loan from Holdings to the FC in 2003.
