Ormond Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Out of boredom I was thinking today. Other than the guys we grew up watching play fitba', what other jobs did they do before/during their careers? I remember John Colquhoun being a painter. Don McVicar of Saints being a postie. Rab Douglas a brickie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neil r Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 (edited) I remember watching that Nat Fraser thing and seeing him. Recognised the face but couldnt place him. Annoyed the fck out of me for months trying to work out where I knew him from. Finally read an article about him and the penny dropped. He also runs the youth teams at Partick. Article here but bear in mind its a Daily Mail article so be prepared for Romanian gypsies being blamed for him being ugly.

Straight red card back in the day when you generally didn't get sent off unless you pulled a knife on someone. He died young, didn't he?
