You know I sit near the disabled section at the RHS of the Street End. About 4 years ago the guy a along from me said "see who is sitting there". I looked and it was an old guy in a wheelchair with light blond hair and dazzling blue eyes..... Yep Sandy Brown. Obviously elderly and weak but absolutely loving being there. I recalled internally his famous Og in that moment but also remembered how in the aftermath of that my dad taught me something special about being a Blue. He said at the time, "it is hurting him now but he is one tough lad and a true blue. The fans will forgive him because he bleeds blue". And they did. I still remember the roar when he lifted the league trophy later that season!!!!!
Remember it mate,saw a bit of a commotion during the first half,some fellas running down to the front and shaking a fellas hand in a wheelchair, didn't realise it was Sandy until they brought him on the pitch at half time!!
