I come from a family of lifelong Accies supporter, the Patersons, who originally came from Quarry Street. I am in the fortunate position of still having my father, who will be 98 next March. His first memories of going to an Accies match was around 1922, and he remembers seeing the likes of Puggy Allen and Davie Wilson play. His dad unfortunately died in 1929, when he was only 9 years old, but his uncle David was a diehard supporter, who actually died around 1963/64 at the Old Douglas Park,whilst watching the Accies play Clyde. One might almost say that he gave his life for the club. Does anyone else have parents or grandparent still alive who can remember these players?
