RIP Les Gibson
 

Anyone know Les Gibson on here?
Heard he died yesterday morning, was well known around Accy/Ossy/Church, many will have known him through playing darts, which he did really well.

I'll put some darts in for him

Lived on Lime Road didn't he Cashy. The area where we both lived. Was always a love/hate with Les .. was such a wind up merchant, but at the end of the day ..couldn't dislike him at all. Will have to text my oldest friend in Spain .. we have many memories of Les.

Think I have some photos somewhere down Highams Playing Fields in younger days .. with his curly hair and ruddy complexion .. always reminded me of a gypsy.

Re: RIP Les Gibson
 

Yes, he was my age Cashy .. you right, unless he had turned 65, but defininitely same year as me as regards school .. not that he went to the same school, he went to the Grammar School, which of course were all boys. and possibly St. Johns ? .. know not Peel Park.
