Ex-Rollers star Longmuir tells of imposter
FORMER Bay City Rollers star Alan Longmuir has told how an imposter has turned up in Spain claiming to be him.
The imposter has been living in the Costa Blanca dropping hints that the Scottish band is about to reform and promising appearances any day now from ex-singer Les McKeown.
Mr Longmuir said: "It makes you wonder why someone would do it - after all, it's more than 30 years since the Rollers were famous."
The 62-year-old said the news helped to solve the mystery of why one friend from America contacted him recently to ask when he'd moved to Spain.
"He was convinced I'd moved. Maybe this is why."
Mr Longmuir, who lives on the outskirts of Stirling with wife Eileen, said he could not understand why someone would choose to pretend to be him.
"It's not like I'm loaded, living a fabulous lifestyle, or that my name gets me anywhere. It's all a bit weird. I suppose there's a sinister side to it too. How do I know what he's saying?"
