So many memories brought back to me, I'm 53 years old man , and I left greenock when I was 20 years old to see the world and make a life, I cried at this video not because it's a bad video but because I left a place I loved so much , that's something that happens when you fall out with your family, maybe one day I will return. But thankyou for putting up these videos the way I remember it was. E

+Joseph Frizzell Thank you for your comment Joseph, Frizzell it's not a common name, so are you any relation to Jimm Frizzell, I played football with him at Bellaire, before he went professional to Manchester City ??

[@josephfrizzell9447]

+Billy Sinclair Not a relative as far as i know.But my grandfather and his came from the Broomy so might be a connection along the line?
