Article says he was 56 and a former amateur footballer, so possibly fits your description. Dreadful story. The killer, a 63 year old drug addict, had only just arrived at the flats, having left a bail hostel. Brown had never even met him before. Not sure how he’d be given a life term, but be eligible for parole after 3 years.

If he was 56 I doubt if he was at St Austin's early 60's. I'm 71.

he was 56 in 2005 so probably born 1949/1950, so possibly, as you say a few years above you at school unless St A's was a primary school ? .. just supposing

It was only a Secondary school, but yes the age is right for 74/75

Aged 56 in 2005. So would have been 74/75 now.
Correct…..into the bargain he liked pubs and getting out and about, he also had two children but was separated from his wife (Sue) and it sounds like he was living alone at his flat, which would be exactly the same as the Bob Brown that I knew and played football with. He originally came from Catford and lived a few doors along from Johnny Summers in Arngask Road.

Off the Bromley Road?
No…..it runs parallel with Brownhill Road between Torridon Road and St Fillans Road.
Exactly correct, he was a school year younger than me. Surely it must be him…..but I’m amazed I didn’t know as he was a well known character back in the day and I knew him well.

I was there 63-68 but don't recall the name. May have been a few years above me which would have put in the same years at Lucy Masiello.
