I
And how good Toots really was at fitba'

By jove he was good! he could have you running 5 yards to the left while he send the ball, or himself, to the right...just with a look or shimmy.........makes yi wunner why he did not make it to the very top...how good do you need to be? there were one or two others as well...slightly older and slightly younger! the two I am thinking of, Duncan and Robbie left footers as well......must be something in that!

Anyway, I remember how strong, competitive and TOUGH the KAFL was from about 1977 to 1983. After that it was gone and never hit the same heights again. One or two wee revivals but, for me anyway, these 5 or 6 years were of the golden variety...
