I would assume Lizzie would have been at the Coronation Cup final against Celtic?

Not at ER obviously...

Actually I think he is and he also was involved in bringing Marvin 'the Christian' back to the club by getting his cronies involved in financing the deal and then Marvin went and spoiled it all with

''I am back at Raith Rovers because God wanted me to be here - I have peace and joy''.

If Broon comes along and Marvin is playing then 'my joy' will also be complete.

I think that because the war had just ended, he was carrying out a programme of reform. Coal mines, civil avaition, gas, electric, steel etc were all nationalized and through this he had to visit various locations throughout the country. Leith being a port with many workers would have been on the agenda.

Anyway, whilst in Leith and already knowledgeable about the Edinburgh Hibees, he decided to pay a visit to see the boys in action...and who wouldn't

Re: Is Clem Atlee The Only PM In Office To Visit ER?

I wonder if Gordon Brown ever attended a game at ER whilst a student in Edinburgh (presumably if Raith were playing).
