Hibs legend to put classic strips up for sale

HIBS legend Alan Rough is to auction off his prize collection of shirts spanning some of the nation's greatest games.

The former Scotland goalkeeper found more than ten years' worth of his own strips that his late dad Robert had kept

The goalie – who was capped 53 times for Scotland – used to hand over the jerseys to his dad after each game, but forgot about the collection until he was helping his mum clean out her attic.

He said: "After every game I used to give the jerseys to my dad.

He came to every game for ten years and you get two jerseys per game, so you can imagine there was a lot."

After giving many away to friends and charity the 58-year-old has decided to give fans the chance to own some of his dad's collection.

The Real Radio presenter, said: "I've held on to a few myself. The ones from the matches with Argentina, Spain and Mexico mean most to me.

"But the most important one that I'm putting forward is from Ray Clemence from 1976.

"That was the game where Kenny Dalglish fired the ball straight between Clemence's legs to score."

The sale is to be held at the Royal Highland Showground, at Ingliston, on 19 May.
