A TALE OF TWO THISTLES
TThere was little acknowledgement in the media for the recent celebration of John Bain’s 90th birthday.
Livingston, the club of whom he is the Honorary Life President, marked the occasion with a special presentation before their 2-3 home defeat to Dumbarton in February; the occasion was paid scant attention elsewhere.
Bain’s self-effacing nature meant he was probably satisfied with the low-key tribute but considering the levels of negativity surrounding the national game, it seemed a pity that his contribution to Scottish football remained relatively unknown, at least outside the sphere of Livingston Football Club.
