Lots of great memories of Bill, the ‘Shire, and visits to my second favourite ground, Firs Park. youtu.be/In1U9_55OdoThe above, though. Wow! RIP Bill, one of the Lower Leagues most authentic characters.

Nah Tadek Kopszywa was club secretary and also did press match reports IIRC.

I used to meet up with Tadek at AR v ES matches when I was on the mainland. Decent guy, an East Stirling FANatic to put it mildly. Felt for him and the other Shire supporters when they went down.
Won the half time draw once at Firs Park, end of match went to collect my winnings, Tannoy Man was in the collection point which was also the Supporters Shop. He never stopped talking, surprise, he said you can't leave with all that cash without buying something. Bought a Shire sweat shirt, wife wore it for years, and a club badge.
Was a student in Falkirk, stayed up there, and went along to Shire games, good laugh with the locals including Tadek.

Great tribute to Bill on View From The Terrace tonight. Very fitting tribute.
