Sorry yo hear of your loss. I searched Kens username and came up with this wee gem he posted in the thread how did you become a Hibby. he wrote


I was born the year Leith Athletic went defunct. I was born at the foot of ER and my Dad & Grandad were Leith Athletic fans. So when I got a wee bit older the only Leith team left were Hibs. Started going to ER with my Big Brother and Cousins in 1960 when I was 6 and havn't looked back since. It was different then as there was no TV fitba or replica shirts and all the razzamataz that exists today. If you supported a club you had to go to the games.

RIP Ken and thanks for your contribution to the Hibs family and the Hibs net community.

Did Ken work for Britoil/BP in Glasgow in the late 80's early 90's ?

yes. He went onto contracting, that's how I met him. Larger than life, in every sense of the word. He was such a proud hibby. When hibs won the CIS cup he was so proud. Sunshine in Leith will now bring a tear to my eye. Rip ken. He loved hibs and Scottish football.

Ah :( yes I knew Kenny too. Sorry to hear this. I worked at BP in Glasgow from 1989-1991 and met him there. As soon as he had news that another Hibby was working there it didnt take him long to come over and introduce himself. We shared a few pub crawls and late night curries back then, and he also allowed me to borrow his copy of the 7-0 game and other such gems on VHS.

Sad news indeed.

RIP Kenny

was really shocked to read this. I worked with a big hibby Kenny Sandison in the IT dept of the Royal Bank in the 80's. When he left he moved through West. The next/last time I seen him was at the SAS offices in Glasgow city centre.
Condolences for your loss, but selfishly I am hoping this is not the same Kenny Sandison I knew. Can you help with this ?

Heres his profile mate - http://www.hibs.net/member.php?13264-kenshrek

It says he was an "IT Contractor". It could just be coincidence obviously, but if it is him, i'm sorry for the bad news.

I think it is the same guy as he moved to Glasgow. That's why I got to know him. Ken was such a presence he made an impact to everyone that met him.

I was at Ainslie Park with a Kenny Sandison and the DOB looks about right. Is this the same bloke? The one I knew pumped iron a lot.

Ken was 58 but knowing him I don't think he ever pumped iron.
