Doon frae Troon
Ryder Cup Winner
Sad to report the death of the last of the Hibernian 'Famous Five'
A good old fashioned centre forward with a better Scotland strike rate than Dalgliesh, Law and Jordan.
Pioneer of European football, decent single figure golfer and gentleman.
As a youngster I was fortunate to play a few games of golf with Lawrie, on one occasion with Ronnie Simpson and another with Gordon Smith. All giants of Scottish football.
Probably the first football star to go 'on strike' after his club amazingly refused him a testimonial game.
He worked as a decorator and painter whilst on strike so his family could live.
Imagine that of today's overpaid superstars.
