Ive a few.

The manager of my boys club, was a scout for St Johnstone in Edinburgh, so we always ended up on pre-season tours up there.

I trained on an off with St Johnstone as a kid for 3-4 years.

We went up and stayed in this sort of camp place for a week outside of Perth, Im not sure what it was called. It had dorms and there was loads of sports, fishing etc and it was surrounded by forest.

Anyway, we got told we were playing a "friendly" on the Saturday, climbed on the coach and it pulled up outside McDiarmid Park, took us into the changing rooms, got changed, and standing in the tunnel.

We got to play a mixure of St Johnstone first team/youth players on the pitch. I think I must have been 13???? We got beat 11-2, and my claim to fame is I scored a free-kick into Alan Main. He probably let it in though.

Over the years I played against Michael Stewart, Kenny Miller and Colin Nish.

Think Scott Severin as well with maybe Musselburgh.

Ive a feeling Hutchie Vale's forward line at that age was Nish and Miller...
