Cork Jag Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 Hi. I was at school with one of John Harvey's sons, Gavin. He had an older brother Gordon and possibly a sister (was long time ago so memory fails me), We went to Mosshead Primary in Bearsden. Two really nice lads (and Gavin was fairly useful at football himself). Anyway, I think there's a Gordon Harvey decorator based in Heather Avenue in Mosshead (saw the car with logo on it while out running while I was staying back there for a period). May well be his son based on name and the fact its still same area. Being Thistle obsessed was always cool to know that Gavin's dad had been a Thistle legend. My only other near brush with fame was when Peter Cormack's (ex manager) son and daughter where at the school for a couple of years before moving on. Hope this helps.

John and a few of his family are members of the Old Partick Thistle PIctures Facebook group. Oh his Grandfather (also John Harvey) also played for Thistle pre 1900.
