Adam Virgo

[Chesney Christ]

Same here. I knew some of it, but not quite to the extent to which the poor guy has had it tough.

I remember a few years back, when I was organising the REMF / NSC 6-a-side football tournament (RIP), I wrote speculatively to about 20 people begging for raffle prizes - either at the club, or former players. Virgo's letter was sent to 'Adam Virgo, c/o Celtic Football Club...' I didn't expect it to ever reach him.

Three days later I got a phone call from him on my mobile, and two days after that, one of his Celtic shirts, signed, in the post. Reading that article the other week, I realised that at that time, when he went to the trouble of bothering to repsond to my begging letter, was when he was actually going through all manner of shit in his own life.

Then, on the day of the 5-a-side itself, he turned up in Preston Park to watch for a bit, with his scary little dog.

Top bloke. Wish him absolutely all the best luck in the world.

I remember this. Lovely fella.

Told us he absolutely hated playing up front.

His dog was indeed scary.

A smashing bloke who has had to endure more than his fair share of life's knocks. I wish him well.
