Played in the same boys club as Stuart Duff, he was some player at juvenile level. A couple of others in my team did sign professional but didn't quite make it. Paul Jarvie went to to the Dabs as a keeper, played a few 1st team games but ended up getting binned by Ian McCall. Played doon in England lower league but ended up at Peterhead for a couple of years.
Also a lad called Martin Wood, signed for Rothes in the Highland League at 16, had a great season and Motherwell bought him a year later. Played under I think it was Billy Davies, then Eric Black.
Again he played a few 1st team games but was released when Motherwell went into administration.

Some of the best players I player with and against never made it because they didnt have the discipline. By 15/16 they're starting drinking and missing games etc.

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...

Also years later when I was washed up and old (in my 20's) ;D

I used to play at the Pitz at Portobello, there was a German guy who played against us for another team, his first name was Jurgen.

He played in the Bundesliga and Bundesliga.2

Im not 100%, but im sure he played for Colonge and Dusseldorf at one point, he told us one time and we didn't believe him, a week later he turned up with a scrapbook to show us all the press cutting his dad had kept.

Also, he was a dirty hacking barsteward.

I always laugh at this. Garry O'Connor dived in the same game but for some reason it barely got a mention and Miko got crucified. Strange.

Mikolunis’ dive was far more blatant and telling. If anything I don’t think he got it tight enough.

About 15 years ago I played in a game for a Celtic messageboard against a pub team. Probably played about 5 games for them overall.

On my debut after being selected at training I was right midfield, in the Beckham role, my favourite position. My left back opponent was one Peter Martin, commentator extraordinaire.

He was considerably better than me but I got the better of him on the day with the support of a good right back. 2 assists in a 3-2 victory, one was a corner.

I played against Steven Naismith several times when I was a wee boy!
