I don’t often Blog on the famous
Kilmarnock FC, one reason is that I very seldom get to see them play. This week was no exception. They were beaten 2-1 by Hibs at Easter Road but by all accounts put up a decent display. Although the club, once again, lost their top scorer during the winter, when
Conor Sammon followed his predecessors:
Kevin Kyle;
Steven Naismith and
Kris Boyd out of the Killie gates, the team still managed to score at least one goal for the 23rd game in succession!
Killie Fan Campbell
A web site mentions that
Alastair Campbell is rumoured to be a Killie fan, I recently asked the man himself if this was in fact the case and can report back that, whilst he is a high profile Burnley fan, Kilmarnock is indeed his Scottish team. Although Alastair was born in Yorkshire, he told me that his mother is from the Ayrshire village of
Moscow and the young Alastair used to spend his holidays visiting his grand parents, often making it along to Rugby Park to support Ayrshire Killie.
Good Luck Danny and Alan
Kilmarnock also released a couple of players in the transfer window: the wonderfully named
Danny Invincible and Scotland ‘B’ Cap, Goalkeeper,
Alan Combe. I sent Alan a wee message of appreciation and wishing him well in the future and was pleasantly surprised to get a response from him saying: “Thanx very much Ian, means a lot.” I’m not thoroughly convinced that the more well known football players would have taken the time to respond to a fan.
