I coached number 3 sons football teams as he was growing up, for a while he played for Strathaven Dynamo and won the league with them, Wee Bertie was a patron of the club and came to the end of season award ceremony, he had a word for every boy and their parents, and also us coaches, his enthusiasm was a joy to see and the boys all got pics etc.
A couple of yrs after I was in the ticket office queueing for ages, when all of a sudden this voice behind us boomed to life, without even turning round most of us knew it was wee 10.30 saying high to everyone as he passed by on the way to the front of the queue, as he got to me he stopped took my hand and ask how my sons team were doing, I was gobsmacked he remembered me, and left the ticket office 10 feet tall, thats how Bertie made you feel.
Rest in Peace our Lisbon choir master.
