What a great film Jaws is. Must have seen it over 100 times, yet never tire of watching it again. I know Spielberg went on to bigger budgets and made some fantastic films with that money but Jaws still stands up to anything he has done in the 48 years since it first came out

My first job as a football reporter was covering St Mirren’s reserves for the Paisley Daily Express and they were managed then by Gordon McQueen, an extremely funny man as well as a towering player for Scotland. Thoughts with Gordon’s family and friends.

So many fond memories of Craig Brown CBE. Always a complete gentleman and made time for everyone. Set standards that made those he worked with not only better players but also better people. Deserves to be regarded as one of the great Scotland managers but also as a wonderful man

Lost a lot of good people recently and the latest is Iain Ferguson, a highly accomplished former Daily Record journalist and latterly head of PR at Ayr Racecourse. Always a gentleman and extremely supportive towards me at the start of my career in Ayr. Thoughts with his family.
