    Tom Killen, Paralympian ..a HIbby?

    Just looking through a list of Edinburgh born sportspeople and saw the name of Paralympian Tom Killen.

    Wondered if it might be the same Tam Killen I knew and played fitba with in the Craigentinny Primary School team all those years ago...the age would be about right.

    The Tam Killen I knew then was a fellow HIbby and lived in Lochend.

    Anybody know ?

    Hi FF
    Tom (Killin) is trying to register on here. He's getting old so it may take a while!

    Could possibly be the same guy then....lived in Lochend when we were at school together....always remember him not understanding why I would take penalties with my left foot instead of my right.....

    Must be over 50 odd years since I saw him now......
