Glenn's still going great guns at Glebelands

Glenn Murray has been involved in football at Johnston since he was a nipper and now, at 61, he is the long-serving hon secretary of ‘The Tigers’ and is as busy off the Glebelands’ pitch as he used to be on it.

In fact, it was only about a year ago that he played for the first team after going with them as first-aider at Solva and agreeing to be listed as one of their substitutes because there was no-one else available.

“Of course I had no intentions of playing,” Glenn told us, “but when one of our players got injured and the other subs were already on the pitch, I had no option but to get my track suit off!

“I decided I only had to try and be of nuisance value but when the ball suddenly came my way inside the Solva area and my low right-foot shot found the net to the amazement of both teams, especially me!

“I’ve tried to find out if I’m the oldest player to score in the first division but no-one seems to know!”
