Tom Killen, Paralympian ..a HIbby?

[Forza Fred]

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......

Hi Tam,

If you are the Tam I remember younwent to Craigentinny primary.......where we played along side guys called, Foley, Henry, Sutherland etc...

I'v never forgiven you for 'pinch in' my goal when I hit a net bound shot in a midweek game against Lismore(?) primary.

My angular ..drive was rolling towards the net past the goalie when you ran in and hit it in a foot from the line..

'Might have hit the post' was your reasoning.......and of course, you were right....but at the time I was like Jason Cummings no getting to take a free kick....☺️

Cassells I think was our teacher..

Mind you, if it's no you, then this is all gibberish!

Sounds like Jimmy O'Rourke knocking home number 6 by thumping home Pat Stanton's net-bound shot in the 7-0 game...
