I was lucky enough to grow up during that great team that Eddie Turnbull put together! Alec Cropley was one of the finest players in Scotland at the time and was vastly underrated. A brilliant,midfielder with an eye for goal, one of the greatest passers of a ball ever! I remember he bought a house near Parsons Green Primary and was inundated with school kids knocking on his door wanting his autograph. He always obliged and had time for everyone.
I attended Parsons Green, in my class were David Bowman and John Robertson who was a hibby. Bowman was a Jambo as his dad Andy played for them.
Needless to say, our school team won many trophies, Inspectors Cup at Warriston etc. Does anyone remember this or were you involved in Primary School football around this time?
