ken1876 Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 (edited) I met Craig Nelson at work the other day , he was driving a 7.5 ton truck for TNT. Anybody know if he's still playing football? Edited March 3, 2011 by ken1876 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ken1876 Posted March 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 Aye he's the Brechin keeper Cheers, he seemed quite shocked that someone recognised him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggernaut Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 An excellent keeper for us. On some of the Youtube clips he brings off some great saves. And still doing a good job for Brechin, it seems - they've got the joint best defensive record in the 2nd division and have a good chance of a play-off spot. He might be lining up against us next season! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P-R Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 That move to Hearts messed up his career - did he not get into one of the Scotland squads while with us? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggernaut Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 That move to Hearts messed up his career - did he not get into one of the Scotland squads while with us? No mention of that on his Wiki page. He's been with Brechin since 2004, and he'll be 40 in a couple of months. Top man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Hosie Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 That move to Hearts messed up his career - did he not get into one of the Scotland squads while with us? Capped at B level against Wales while a Thistle player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grant Tierney's tackle Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 I remember feeling gutted when Nelson left. But then along came Nicky Walker... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king of spain Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 Was it Nicky Walker and Wayne Foster plus cash for Craig Nelson? What a transfer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryza Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 Craig Nelson was the inspiration behind my middle shed curtain hair-do in the early 90's. Got a cracking pic with him on the pitch at firhill end if 92-93 season. Great keeper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lady-isobel-barnett Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 I seem to remember giving Craig a clap when his name has been read out against us two or three times in relatively recent seasons. I'm fairly sure he played against us the night Kenny Arthur saved three penalties and possibly in a friendly at Glebe Pk not long after. Would there be maybe a third occasion since his days at Ayr?

Jaggernaut Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 It seems he played a blinder in today's 2-2 draw against St Johnstone. It would be great if he could get to Hampden with Brechin! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuthejag Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 (edited) It was 2 seperate transfers with Hearts on the same day. Nelson went for cash + Nicky Walker. Jamieson was a straight swap for Wayne Foster. Edited March 12, 2011 by stuthejag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
