Steve Diggle Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 was scanning around for photos of old players - see what heroes of yesteryear look like now Vic Davidson looks like he's a youth coach in Arizona As is Super Ally Nick Cusack - almost the top dog in the PFA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tassinari Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 Apologies for the negative to this thread. I met Brian Heron's son on holiday recently and he's apparently had a major stroke and is now in a nursing home. He was a bit before my time, so maybe others can fill in what type of player he was etc.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Diggle Posted July 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 Apologies for the negative to this thread. I met Brian Heron's son on holiday recently and he's apparently had a major stroke and is now in a nursing home. He was a bit before my time, so maybe others can fill in what type of player he was etc.. I only seen him the once or twice - my old man used to rave about him though. Like lightning on the wing apparently. Sad news - hope that life's as good for him as it can be. There's a bit on the Oxford United website - good wee article (unfortunately fails to mention the well tho) http://www.oufc.co.uk/page/News/0,,10342~1329085,00.html Here's the info from neil's ex players page http://www.neilbrown.newcastlefans.com/pla.../brianheron.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wishaestevie Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 Apologies for the negative to this thread. I met Brian Heron's son on holiday recently and he's apparently had a major stroke and is now in a nursing home. He was a bit before my time, so maybe others can fill in what type of player he was etc.. This is really sad news, hope he's at least comfortable. He is one of my first 'favourite' Well players I can remember as a a nipper along with Billy Campbell , outside left and outside right or wingers as they are called now. Some info on him at the link below. http://www.motherwellnet.co.uk/pa/h/heron.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLip69 Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 What a player he was and he scored his fair share of goals , 20 in 75 games is not a bad return for a winger. I remember him running riot against Spurs at Fir Park in the Texaco Cup, he was an absolute joy to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
postiejim Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 I remember him well, the proverbial flying machine, his free kicks were a bit special too as he was able to bend the ball with the outside of his foot. I'm sure he and Bobby Watson joined the well in a swap deal with Peter MCcLoy going to Rangers. Bobby played a number of years for us of course but Brian was only at firpark two or three seasons before he moved on. Great player I wish him well.

Kat Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 Ian Kennedy Works in Asda Hamilton as did Willie Pettigrew (Think he is gone now, he was a youth coach for the well) Jim Griffin went on to become a lecturer at Motherwell College but heard he joined the tic as a Scout. I once worked besides Joe Warks wife and he used to visit, she used to tell me stories about him, for instance once he got Player of the year and his prize was something like a new Living room carpet.

Moe_Green Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 He was my favourite player when I was a lad, found some info on his condition etc on another site. After reading that hopefully MFC are aware of his condition and stick something in the post to him. http://www.oufc.co.uk/page/News/0,,10342~1...0.html#continue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underboyleheating Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 Sad to hear about Brian. He was one of my favourite players and possessed one of the hardest shots in the league at the time. I remember one free kick that was hit so hard it almost cracked the old wooden crossbar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brazilmfc Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Alex Burns is a polis. My missus got her motor tanned a few weeks back and he came to the house with clothes for identification. His "boss" who was there, dropped hints that he had "smashed" them. GOOD MAN !!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
