Denis Law. And the rest of the team from 1967 who put those jammy 1966 world cup winners in their place!

 

[Drago]

Sitrep. The thoughtful and mild mannered Groundskeeper Willie, a native of Kirkwall (although both Aberdeen and Glasgow have tried to claim him in the past), with Connery and Fleming a close second. Its gratifying to see that enough of us are sufficiently old and well educated that Ian Anderson has garnered 3 votes.

What about the navigator from 633 Squadron?

Didn't he get shot trying to escape in "The Great Escape" ?

 

[Illaveago]

What about Fulton Mackay from Porridge ?

James Clerk Maxwell

You must have got confused by giving a sensible nomination (I was about to say the same guy) to Dragos thread.

I couldn't possibly vote for someone with that name. This guy was once my boss at Greenock. Probably best I don't say too much about him on a public forum, but suffice to say I had a laugh when I read this in the Glasgow Herald at the time. Apart from the bit about keeping his pension, the nobber. Complete, utter, total, NOBBER!

A SENIOR Strathclyde policeman has quit after accusations of malpractice in securing the release from custody of a friend's son. Chief Superintendent Iain Anderson, who headed Kilmarnock division, will retire on full pension.
Mr Anderson, the co-ordinator for Ayrshire of the force's campaign against domestic violence, ordered the release on New Year's Day. Last week the arrested man was fined £250 when he admitted punching his wife.

So, back to the light hearted banter....

 

[Drago]

Yes, but couldn't you turn a blind eye in recognition of over 5 decades of services to prog rock?

And his contribution to Scots rhyming slang!

 

[CanucksTraveller]

I Adid and Noah Didney.

 

[tyred]

Pa Broon.

What about Fulton Mackay from Porridge ?

His real name as well.

 

[MartinQ]

Burke and Hare would murder to be on the list.

 

[Drago]

His real name as well.

What, he was named Porridge? Poor bloke.
