Beautiful funeral service for George today. Standing room only. So much love in the room.
Sorry to hear of the passing last week of lifelong Jag GEORGE MORRIS, aged 89. Was a member of the PTFC history & memorabilia group. An electrical engineer, he played his part in the first floodlights; aged 19, he got the honour of switching them on, exactly 70 yrs ago. 🇧🇪🔆

A 19th century player & part of the first Firhill directorship, little did he know that his grandson would be an even bigger Thistle man! The original JOHN HARVEY is our #Movember Jag of the day.

Those who were there will never forget Station Park 2001, and PAUL McGRILLEN is forever remembered. Globally, 1 man dies of suicide every minute, every day. The issues are complex, but #Movember is positive; it's good to talk above all else.
