In his tongue-in-cheek column, Tam Cowan responds to question on resemblance between two well-known Scottish faces
Regular reader Scott Stibbs asks: “Tam, have you any idea what the legendary Craig “Sh***er” Broon was up to approximately nine months before the birth of four-time world snooker champ John Higgins ? It’s uncanny!”John is 47 years old, which means he was conceived in 1975 and I can confirm that’s when my auld pal Craig was the assistant-manager at Motherwell – just a mile or so down the road from Wishaw…Seriously, folks, I’ve known John for yonks – ever since he was 10 years old and rattling in...
Anyway, folks, cut a long story short, John got in touch on Monday to point out he WASN’T sick in Paul Young’s front garden. In his words, he only had a p**h – and I’m delighted to set the record straight. Meanwhile, looking forward to the 40th anniversary of Aberdeen FC’s amazing Cup Winners’ Cup victory against the mighty Real Madrid, we asked the Off The Ball listeners if they remembered exactly where they were on May 11, 1983.
