Who remembers Les Johnston playing? My dad knew him to speak to, I met him twice I think but he was getting on by then and living in a bungalow in Porthill.
I know he came from Clyde and had a couple of Scottish caps but that's about all I know really except that he was a nice bloke. Another who died of Alzheimer's I think?

Les joined us in a flurry of great expections that unfortunately never lived up to them.
