Aberdeen Grammar School's Hampden heroes back together again 30 years on from famous win
The members of Aberdeen Grammar School's 1995 Scottish Schools' Senior Shield winning team were back together to toast a famous victory. The Grammar side, which included future Aberdeen captain Russell Anderson, defeated Dunfermline High School 4-2 in the final at Hampden Park to win the national competition. They remain the only team from the north-east of Scotland to have won the Senior Shield. Patrick O'Driscoll nodded Grammar in front after only five minutes before Anderson doubled the advantage with a header in the 20th minute. Steven Gilfeather put Grammar 3-0 up in the 33rd minute with a magnificent solo effort before Dunfermline fought back with two goals either side of the interval. Gilfeather put the game beyond doubt when he made it 4-2 in the 65th minute. Members of the team and their coach Mike McLeod met up on Saturday to reminisce about their Hampden triumph. Andrew Wilson, who played in goals for Grammar, said: 'It was a really nice occasion as it was 15 years since we last met up. 'Mike McLeod was there for the first part of the evening when we watched the highlights of the game and it was lovely to see him. 'He brought along a shirt signed by all the players that we'd given him at one of our earlier reunions. 'We went to the Ferryhill House Hotel for some food and then we went back to our captain Gav Hendry's house and ended up watching the DVD of the game two more times until about 3am.' Wilson said the journey through the early stages of the competition was almost as memorable as the final itself. He said: 'Along the way we played a number of teams who were probably on paper better than us but we just had enough good components and real character to win those matches in the earlier rounds. 'In several of the rounds we were behind at one point and managed to come back and win. 'I remember we played Carnoustie in the third round and we won 3-2 with a goal in the last minute. 'Somebody said 'our name is on the cup' and I didn't really take too much notice at the time but it just kept going with all these epic cup ties. 'In the following round we had to play down at Braidhurst High School, which I think is now a Scottish FA football academy. 'We won on penalties and we had to run off the pitch at the end as some of the locals started to come after us, which got a bit scary!' Former Dons captain Anderson was a key member of the victorious team but there were plenty of promising players in the Grammar ranks. Wilson said: 'Russell played in midfield for us. He was in the Dons youth set-up at the time and played for King Street Dons so he had a fair bit of juggling with the three teams. 'When we played in the final on the grand stage he really came into his own. 'He was tremendous. 'There was another guy, Paddy O'Driscoll, who went on to do a football scholarship in the United States. 'He is now running the women's team at Penn State. He gave us a video call on Saturday night. He was on a tour with his team and was speaking to us from the Copacabana Beach. 'Steven Gilfeather went to Dundee for a bit and then Raith Rovers. 'Andy McCraw played in Highland League, he was at Cove from the age of 16 for nine years. 'Gav Hendry, our captain, also played for Cove Rangers. 'Russell was the one who made it as a professional but we had enough decent players in the team.' The Grammar team were wearing the school's traditional rugby kits for the final, which gave their opponents plenty to ponder before the big match. Wilson said: 'When we were watching the DVD, something that was spoken about quite a bit was the rugby kit we had to play in. 'Our opponents got brand new kits for the cup final. 'I think they were looking at us in the tunnel before the game in our rugby kits and they weren't quite sure what to make of it. 'The kits were actually really heavy and the shorts were a bit ridiculous. Our centre-half was 6ft 3in and it looked like he was wearing hot pants!' The team intend to meet up again in five years' time. Wilson added: 'I think it is the oldest schools football tournament in the world so winning the final at Hampden is a great memory for the whole team. 'The lovely thing on Saturday was you could see everyone was delighted to be back together again. 'The oldest is 48 and youngest would have been 46. 'I think someone was saying we should try to meet up every five years. It felt like it had been too long. 'We had planned to do something for the 25 year anniversary in 2020 but then Covid kicked in and we couldn't do it. 'It was actually my Mum who filmed the game. She borrowed a video camera and took it to Hampden. 'It was lovely to watch the highlights and, looking back, we actually played some really good football.'

Former Arsenal star jailed for four years for role in £600k drug smuggling plot
Footballer Jay Emmanuel-Thomas has been sentenced to four years in jail after last month pleading guilty to a cannabis importation charge over an attempt to smuggle £600,000 of the drug through Stansted Airport from Thailand. The 34-year-old striker was sacked by Scottish Championship side Greenock Morton after his arrest last year. The former Arsenal academy product initially denied the charges but changed his plea to guilty at a hearing on May 7 at Chelmsford Crown Court in Essex. "It is through your own actions you will no longer be known as a professional footballer," Judge Alexander Mills said before informing the footballer of his sentence.. "You will be known as a criminal. A professional footballer who threw it all away." The footballer, whose former clubs include Ipswich, Bristol City, QPR, Livingston, Aberdeen and Thai side PTT Rayong, had spent the past eight months on remand. But before his sentencing a letter from him to Judge Mills was read out in court. "This past year has been the most harmful and eye-opening of my life," he wrote. "At times it has been unbearable." He added that he "never imagined" he could be in this situation, and he "completely regrets but takes full responsibility for" his actions. He continued that seeing his daughter visit him in prison was one of the toughest moments of his life. "Watching her walk into the space broke me," he adds. "I never wanted her to see me in that light." Emmanuel-Thomas, of Cardwell Road in Gourock, Inverclyde, Scotland, was arrested in the town by National Crime Agency (NCA) officers in September 2024 after the NCA seized an estimated £600,000 of the class B drug as it was being smuggled through Stansted on September 2. Border Force officers detected roughly 60kg (132lb) of the drug in two suitcases, which had arrived via a flight from Bangkok, Thailand. Co-defendants Rosie Rowland and Yasmin Piotrowska, who both denied charges having flown with the drugs, were already informed that they face no further action after prosecutors offered no evidence in their case. Ms Rowland, 29, of Southend Road, Chelmsford, Essex, and 33-year-old Ms Piotrowska, of Purves Road, Kensal Rise, north-west London, wept after learning of the verdicts last month. Ms Piotrowska, who was described in court as Emmanuel-Thomas' girlfriend, watched on from the gallery as the sentence was handed down. The court also heard that Emmanuel-Thomas had offered the women an all-expenses-paid trip to Thailand, as well as £2,500 in cash, for their role in the plot. Emmanuel-Thomas came through Arsenal's youth academy and spent three years on their books as a professional between 2008 and 2011. During that period he had loan spells at Blackpool, Doncaster Rovers and Cardiff City. He was then sold to Ipswich before moving to Bristol City and on to Queens Park Rangers. By 2019 Emmanuel-Thomas was playing for Thai club PTT Rayong but in recent years has turned out for Scottish clubs Livingston, Aberdeen and Greenock Morton. He also won a number of England underage caps.

Russell Martin's partner Lucy Pinder is former glamour model and is friends with Gary Lineker and his ex
Russell Martin's partner Lucy Pinder is former glamour model and is friends with Gary Lineker and his ex The former model will be cheering on her partner at Ibrox next season Martin and Pinder went public with their relationship last year (Image: Instagram: @pinderpix ) Russell Martin has been appointed as the new manager of Rangers, with the former Swansea City and Southampton boss signing a three-year deal to take charge at Ibrox. The 39-year-old former Scotland defender had a short stint at the club as a player in 2018 and has now returned as part of a new era for the Scottish giants, who were taken over by a US-based consortium last week. Martin is said to have been the "standout choice" to turn around the fortunes of the team after a disappointing season saw them end the campaign with no silverware. Joining the manager in Glasgow will be his girlfriend, former glamour model Lucy Pinder, with the couple going public with their relationship last year having dated since August. Pinder will likely be a familiar face to many football fans, having risen to international fame for her work in men's magazines - including FHM, Loaded and Nuts - during the 2000s. She was named as one of FHM's '100 Sexiest Women in the World' on three occasions, while she later moved into TV work, landing a presenting role on Nuts TV and appearing on reality shows including Celebrity Big Brother and Hell's Kitchen. The 41-year-old has also tried her hand at acting, starring in comedy horror film Strippers vs Werewolves in 2012 before appearing in made-for-television disaster flick Sharknado 5: Global Swarming five years later. Article continues below While she didn't quite make it to Hollywood herself, Pinder was previously rumoured to be dating Captain America star Chris Evans, having been seen enjoying a daytime date with the actor in January 2015. However, she has now found love with former Wycombe Wanderers and Norwich City defender Martin, who was sacked as Southampton manager in December. With Pinder a die-hard Saints fan, the couple were said to have "grown closer" during the manager's time at St Mary's, following his split from his wife Jasmine - with whom he shares three children - last year. The former glamour model revealed their relationship in August, sharing a photo of her and Martin in his hometown of Brighton - where he was receiving an honorary degree - on Instagram. When their relationship was revealed, a source told The Sun: "They're a match made in heaven - or at least in Southampton. They're mad for each other." Pinder is also close friends with Cardiff-born model and Gary Lineker's ex-wife Danielle Bux, with the two women recently sharing photos of a night of wine and games that was also attended by Martin and the former Match of the Day host. Bux - who was married to Lineker between 2009 and 2016 but has remained close friends with him since - posted pictures on Instagram of the evening with Lineker's son Harry, 31 and her daughter Ella Willis also in attendance. Lineker previously opened up about his relationship with Bux, telling The Mirror that they split up due to the fact that he didn't want any more children. "Danielle and I are best mates, we still speak three times a day, we text all the time," he said. "When she comes to London she stays with me, and when I go to Los Angeles I see her. Article continues below "It might be unusual and people might go, 'That's weird' but, frankly, I don't care. What is normal? Is it better to get divorced and end up fighting, screaming and shouting? Or is it better to get on if you can?"
