And yet another non-video. But instead, a nice picture of one of the finest – and by that I mean eccentric and iconic as well as a magnificent shot-stopper – Scottish goalkeepers.
I was inspired to go listen to this as a wee snippet appeared on Radio Scotland – apparently Hamish is recovering from a heart attack. It’s a tribute to the keeper from Dundonian folkie Michael Marra, and covering the occasion when Grace Kelly was in attendance to see the team give her husband’s Monaco side a good thrashing at Tannadice. (I wasn’t there myself, though tickets for the next round against Borussia Mönchengladbach were easier to come by).
Marra is a fine songwriter who’d have featured on this series anyway, so a timely double whammy.
Get well soon, Hamish.
