Tribute was paid at the weekend to a well-known figure in the world of Tayside amateur football.
Strathmore Albion Football Club was formed by George “Geordie” Tosh in 1972 and won many honours in the Perthshire Amateur Football Association (PAFA).
Mr Tosh died two days before his 73rd birthday in July a short time after his wife, Mary while staying at Finavon Court in Forfar.
Following a family request, a caricature of Mr Tosh will be hung in his local pub, the Kinloch Arms in Meigle, from where the team launched many successful campaigns in the PAFA.
The team continued until ill-health forced Mr Tosh to retire in 2004, when it disbanded.
He infected others with his enthusiam and inspired many into signing for his team.
A reunion was held by former players of the club back in 2006, the proceeds of which were used to buy an electric easy chair for Mr Tosh, who was having problems with mobility.
A caricature of him in a “Strathie” strip was signed by those affiliated with the club over the years and hung in the family’s house at Braidstone Farm, Meigle.
The Tosh family have requested that the caricature be displayed publicly so that all can remember him and the work that he did for the community.
Pub owner Dougie Gilchrist gave the framed picture pride of place in his public bar on Saturday night.
Mr Tosh was schooled at Newtyle, where he won the Dux medal, before following his father on to the land, where he spent his entire working life.
Mr Tosh’s passion for football saw him play for Angus and Perthshire teams in his younger day, including Forfar West End, before he became involved in the founding of Strathmore Albion in 1972.
Honoured as a life member of the Perthshire Amateur Football Association, he saw Albion sides scoop a host of titles and he only hung his own boots up in 2003, having been known to pull on a strip to ensure a team could take to the field.
