neilser Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Saw this interview today - don't think it's been posted on the TAMB yet. He's not in a great way but seems to have a positive outlook. He was a hero of mine back in the day. Such a loss to the squad for Argentina '78. I liked the story about him assembling a scratch team, also involving Dalglish and Jordan in 1969... http://m.scotsman.com/sport/football/english/gordon-mcqueen-football-prepared-me-for-cancer-battle-1-3898880 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewarty66 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 This interview reminds me why Leeds have always been my English team. Had the pleasure to meet Gordon when I played at Football Aid at Hampden in 2004. An absolute gentleman and down to earth guy. Hope he recovers from his current health problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_B81 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Had the pleasure of meeting him when he was doing a Whyte & MacKay promotion at Cumbernauld. Absolute gentleman and he was a good laugh, was good enough to sign a bottle for a charity night I ran that year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kittymeister Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 (edited) When I was growing up in Kilmacolm we used to play football every Sunday. Gordon McQueen came down one Sunday, he had just moved into the village, and asked if he could get a game. Someone not realising who he was asked if was any good. To be fair he took it well. Hopefully he pulls through, an absolute colossus in defence. Edited September 29, 2015 by Kittymeister Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larky Masher Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Good article but David McNiven is from Stonehouse not Shotts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Of Paisley Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Good Ayrshire lad One of Kilbirnie's finest. And started his career with the Buddies too 'which he loved'. And was first team coach for a while too. Sad to see he isn't keeping too well. Much missed on Gillette Soccer Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Endell Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 It was only recently I found out he started out with St Mirren . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Of Paisley Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Aye. Signed big Gogo from Kilbirnie Ladeside. Was the only full time player in a part time Saints team at the time. We sold him to Leeds for a pittance thanks to the bank manager leaning on us for some funds. Within a year he was part of Leeds title winning side.

Toepoke Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 (edited) Great interview, cheers for posting. Very sad to read what the big man's had to go through though.

Jersey Jim Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Cheers for posting, my first memory of watching St Mirren as a 5/6 year old was the big man. He also talks about the other less well known Jocks at Leeds, one of them being John Taylor who was a good mate of mine in Jersey who sadly passed away a couple of years ago. Lovely to hear big G mention him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
