I used to live in Iona Street, and got the 13 bus past the Post Office every morning.

It felt like an exploration of the social strata of Edinburgh. The mean streets of Lochend and Leith, to the boulevards of Ravelston.

And in a single decker....

I remember it well, bought my first pair of Peter Bonetti green gloves in there for 2/6.
Did the shop not become The Rose Street Brewery?



Jock Stein opening the shop.

I thought it was on the other side of the street towards Scott's Bar.

I remember the old guy that used to walk around Easter Road holding aloft the blackboard with the lucky programme numbers which were printed on the front of your programme everyone used to pelt it with pies.

I also remember the half time scoreboard with the shaky numbers which were waited on in great anticipation and huge gasps when the scores were put up in prearranged alphabetical order according to your programme in pre internet social media days as only the Sados had a tranny wired to their ears in those days listening to David Francey and Alister Alexander!

Were the pies rubbish then as well

The 13 bus was at least partly responsible for me following Hibs. Great King Street to St Claire Street. No equivalent to the piggery.

According to Wikipedia Stein got rid of Simpson from Hibs because he had a bad attitude in training. Did he have a better attitude at Celtc, where he went on to become their 'greatest ever goalie', and make up with Stein? Anyone got the skinny on that?
