Colonel Mike Edwards OBE

@Theleaguemag @GrahamSpiers Referee Ian Foote is in this picture because Willie Miller couldn’t make it down from Aberdeen for the photocall.

Scotland’s Team of the Year 1975

Down many decades I have worn many hats. Tonight I was honoured to represent the Secretary of State for Defence, who is busy elsewhere, at the Lord Provost’s Reserves & Cadets awards at the city chambers in Glasgow. @Lowland_RFCA @LordProvostGCC @GlasgowCC @ReportingGandL

@74frankfurt This pic was taken on Park Lane in London. I was there reporting on the event for STV news. Tyson had just cancelled a news conference & training but I got an exclusive with him outside the hotel. This is nearly 25 years ago!

Charlie Charlie one to any callsign on this net who is struggling today. I am a 30+ year veteran, Iraq & Afghan etc. DM me on this means if you need to swing a lantern or vent. I would rather talk to you than read about you. You are not alone. You are never alone. Out.

@Highland__paddy A bit niche I’ll grant you, but this is the only time I’ve ever seen Kenny Dalglish wear mouldies.

Diego Maradona announced himself to Scottish football fans in a 3-1 victory in 1979 , Narey , Wark , Hansen, Graham and Dalglish look on in awe... they wouldn't be the last to do so.

It is my privilege to be a Deputy Lieutenant. Today I was humbled to meet 106 year-old David Niel & present him with (another) birthday message from the King. An army veteran of North Africa & Italy, his secret to longevity is a bowl of cornflakes & banana every morning.

Great result!!! Five points clear with a game in hand. Going up anyone??

Brazil and Morocco AGAIN!

Please no Zaire, no Iran, no Peru, no Costa Rica, no Brazil, no Germany, no England. Give us Lesotho, Kuwait, Ascension Island & Accrington Stanley (reserves) please. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

@scottiebateman That’s exceptional Scott. Well done!

This might be my favourite photo that I’ve ever snapped. We are at 11,200 m over China and a Boeing 787 passes above. If you look closely you can also see 3 different satellites streaking across the night sky. Handheld on my iPhone… happy with that. 🙌🏻 #aviation #China #AviationNews

Honoured to be President of the Hamilton Burns Club for 25/26 & hugely privileged to see the fabulous gift from the Mitchell Library in Glasgow, who hosted our summer visit & gave us access to their amazing collection of Burns ephemera, including original Kilmarnock editions.

On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. Lest we forget. And please remember veterans at Erskine on this special day. ⁦@ErskineCharity⁩

It is my greatest honour to be a Deputy Lieutenant of Dunbartonshire and to lay a wreath at my local war memorial on behalf of His Majesty the King on Remembrance Sunday. As a veteran myself now, it is especially poignant. Lest we forget.

Already busy working as a funeral celebrant in Glasgow & Inverclyde but now looking forward to helping bereaved families in Inverness & the Highlands. It is lovely to receive messages of thanks from people after I’ve led a family funeral - I am delighted to be able to help.

@stephen37292ML @railnigel I used to eye this enviously when it adorned the office wall of the director of ScotRail & I was there to interview him. I remember chatting with John Ellis about Cuneo when he was in charge of the railway in Scotland.

Don’t we all!!

Goodnight Willie Young. Heading the ball must be removed from football to prevent dementia. The name of the sport is a give away. How many more players must die before the governing body takes action? ⁦@FIFAcom⁩ ⁦@TheIFAB⁩ ⁦@UEFA⁩ share.google/6m2FiR0NlBjbhz…

Deeply honoured to be a Deputy Lieutenant of Dunbartonshire. I enjoyed our meeting in Bearsden tonight but the solemnity of the role was reinforced when we were issued with our wreaths which we will each lay at war memorials throughout the Lieutenancy on Remembrance Sunday.

All the very best of luck to the Scotland shinty manager, my dear pal Alan MacRae today. I’m very proud of you mate! Alba gu bràth. @camanachd

@dadbegg When I was a sports reporter with the P&J, I sat beside David at Mosset Park, home of Forres Mechanics, one night. He was on holiday in Nairn & fancied taking in a game. About 20 Nimrods took off from RAF Kinloss & we thought war had started. He was great fun & full of stories.

Friday night empty. Time to let the saltire sing.
