So are you Denis's son or Jill's? Obviously Diggar was enough of a Telford Street legend to be afforded Boardroom hospitality on a regular basis. I have a clear recollection of being in Finlay's Bar on the Sunday afternoon (Sep 12th) following the September 9th 1993 Merger votes, getting the exclusive story (sorry if I sound like Chic :P ) that there would be organised opposition to the Merger. This was immediately after the inaugural Rebel meeting there and I well remember a quote from young Brooman, grandson of Diggar's great mate John Brooman, who made the rather dramatic statement that: "Diggar McGillvary isn't even cold in his grave and look what they're doing to the club." Diggar had indeed died just a few weeks previously. I sometimes wonder what Diggar would have thought about the merger..... and indeed about his equally beloved Rangers getting beaten home and away by an Inverness team?! I am Jill's son. I don't know what he would have made of the merger of the club. Although to be fair, I don't know what he would of made of my becoming.. dare I say it.... a County fan haha.

Diggar was my granda. At the games he took me to we always sat in the stand on the comfy seats. At half time we would get taken down the tunnel with the directors for tea and sandwiches. To add a correction to an above post, Denis still has the barber shop on Greig street although it is only open for short hours each day.
