Surprised no one has mentioned the untimely death of Bourdain. A really down to earth man that changed the way travel/food shows were aired. A great author and storyteller. He also had a Haggis supper at the fit o the walk. Anthony Bourdain Visits The Mermaid FIsh Bar, Leith Walk - YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0kOOK8iVtE) RIP Anthony

Liverpool great Kenny Dalglish handed knighthood*in Queens Birthday honours (https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2018/06/08/liverpool-great-kenny-dalglish-handed-knighthoodin-queens-birthday/)

Hearing the sad news of ex Hibs secretary Cecil Graham got me thinking to something I often think in relation to ex Hibs players, officials & staff. I often wonder if they are still alive and what they are up to. One guy I've thought of a lot who I used to speak to often when hanging around Easter Road as a laddie in the mid 80's is our ex physiotherapist Tom McNiven who IIRC was also the Scotland national team physio at one point.

All 10 bank holiday and boxing day matches from 2019. I have Prime already so thats a wee bonus. I hope the SPFL are looking at this as an option.
