Very sorry to hear of Lawrie's passing. One of my favourites in my early days supporting the Club. Tremendous keeper on his day, who moved around quite a bit after leaving Easter Road.
Condolences to Lawrie's family and friends.
RIP
Remember Lawrie well, part of a great Hibs defence which included John Grant, Jo McClelland, Jackie Plenderleith, John Patterson and a veteran Bobby Combe.Quote:

I reffed a game in The Kent league about 30 years ago & Lawrie's son was playing. I ended up back at their house leafing through his scrap album collection.
I was at primary school when Lawrie was our keeper at the end of his time at The Holy Ground.
Lawrie and Jackie Wren being the first two keepers i likely saw playing for Hibernian.
But no real memory of that period.
Good memories from you there, Brian, and love the Airdrie story.
Rest in Peace, Lawrie Leslie.

Just using this forum to see if there's any info re Lawrie's funeral? It would be nice if we were represented in some way.
I remember him at West Ham. Good keeper.
Lucky enough to see him many times. Great 'keeper and genuine person.
RIP to an unforgettable Hibs player.
Billy I was mixing him up with another ex Hibs keeper - George Farm who won the FA cup with Blackpool in 1953 dispite having in his own words ‘ the worst game of my life’.Quote:
