My sincere thoughts and prayers are with your family and friends at this sad time, Archie. The 10 bells will be tolling at events around the country this weekend. You will be remembered fondly and with much respect.
My mate made a documentary on Archie and the Forgewood gym for a personal project. I'll try get him to put it on Youtube so people can check it out. RIP from Bellshill!
