The Black Pearl

[H18sry]

Anybody see the Black Pearl AKA Dougie Johnson on BBC's missing this morning :thumbsup:

Dougie was IIRC the first professional black player to play top flight football in Scotland and a good Hibby aswell :agree:

He was on with a mate Peter Foley [who is searching for his father] and they were pictured wearing Hibs strips:thumbsup:

Dougie used to work for Jackie Mac and Ralphy Callaghan when they owned Derby's many moon's ago, a few good night's had in there :drunk:


It now transpires that they are brothers :thumbsup:

Grew up as best mates and over 50 years later they find out they have the same dad. :greengrin

Good on you Dougie :wink:

He's my dad :bye:

What they didnt report was that the shock of finding out his best mate was actually his brother, almost killed him. :greengrin

Was it the programme with Kate Adie?

Is it true that someone actually managed to get a photo of you at the bar buying a round? Im sure they said it was a black n white photo....

Im sure that Dougie also did a couple of stints at the Loch Inn as well... Top bloke.
