samo Posted March 31, 2021 Report Share Posted March 31, 2021 (edited) I used to love nothing more than to have a pint in the Howard and listen to the late Andy King tell his stories of his time at Killie and the league winning team.

Killie Histories Posted April 1, 2021 Report Share Posted April 1, 2021 (edited) Willie Waddell 100%. An enigmatic character. And there isn't a huge amount documented about his strategy, etc. Not sure he'd have been the type to do a Zoom recording though...

And there isn't a huge amount documented about his strategy, etc. Not sure he'd have been the type to do a Zoom recording though... You know that, after Waddell left Killie in 1965, he joined the Scottish Daily Express as a writer until November 1969 when he left to manage Rangers? In 1969 I had a summer job working in the Express office as a Copy Boy, a gofer basically. I can’t believe I worked beside Waddell for a couple of months and never asked him to sign anything! Go Fame, for example, would have been published that year. He would, like the others on the floor, shout “Boy!” and ask me to get him a cup of tea and a bacon roll from the canteen or take his expenses claim to Accounts. Discussing football with him would have been fanciful! I went back the next year too. Footballers, OF usually, regularly came in and I got tickets for the Scotland - England match from Don Revie. He had a huge bundle in his pocket and, despite me being a poor lad, insisted on payment in full! Typical Revie - greed was his downfall. Another of the Copy Boys was Keith McCrae, Motherwell goalkeeper cum striker, who went on to play for Manchester City before moving to the US.

I know about his newspaper work - I guess I am more talking about him answering questions put to him by mere mortals like you or I. You were lucky to have the chance to wisely decide not to bother him! It's on my to do list to read some of his work. The centenary of his birth this year just came too soon with the piles of other bumph I have to get through. Great insights re WW, skygod. Would love to hear a few more of them in an episode of the podcast. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skygod Posted April 1, 2021 Report Share Posted April 1, 2021 I wasn’t suggesting you would find anything insightful in his newspaper work. It was mostly match reports and commentary on the football stories of the day. He did spend a lot of the time when he was in the office glowering over his glasses! Not somebody who invited intrusion into his personal space! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last Atari Moron Posted April 1, 2021 Report Share Posted April 1, 2021 Bizarrely, Kenny Shiels and family were staying at the same hotel as us just after he left Killie. Had a few chats with him round the pool but tried to leave him be. He was still hurting. He never sat down and relaxed though. Had all the kids from the hotel training. Best laugh was going to the airport in the transfer bus and we stopped outside a hotel with a big Hearts flag hanging from a balcony and he says to me in a thick NI accent. “C’mon let’s go and wind them up”. We had beaten them all season home and away. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
