It is with great sadness that I have to announce the death of our old friend Lionel Sparrow. Having joined ‘Let it Blaw’ in 1980, Lionel was the fourth longest serving member of our Club.

He was a close friend of former club Presidents Jimmy Johnstone and Ron Hardy who proposed his membership. Despite being a member for 45 years, he still couldn’t get his south of England accent around the Club name which he always insisted was Let it Blow.

Funeral details will be confirmed, but it’s provisionally at Mortonhall Crematorium on Friday 10th January 2025 at 1:00pm
