Jock Alston

[JohnQuinn]

No very often am i left speechless but this morning was one such occasion.

Went to Carluke club and when there met Jock Alston who had travelled down to OFFER!! 2 Yb's to the Motherwell club sale. The man hadn't been asked for them, he seen the topic on here and thought if it was for club funds he could help out by making a donation of Yb's to the sale. In conversation i mentioned to Jock i had purchased a Yb he donated to the Dalzell FC sale a couple of weeks ago and it was doing fine, he promptly offered me my pick of the pair he had with him to go with the one i bought. I was actually Speechless by his generosity, not just to me but to Motherwell Club too. To let you understand, his Yb's fetch 3 figure sums in the sale rooms!!

Well i took my pick, the Blue WF hen Yb, as the one i had is a Ck so i could pair them next season all going well but i couldn't stop thinking of the nest mate, a Red Grizzle. So i put a reserve bid with TheHigg and it is now happily sitting in my Yb loft too, 2 beautiful Yb's they are too.

 

So a MASSIVE THANK YOU to Jock (Rebus on PB) for his kindness to me, it will live long in me.

Jock is a Gentleman. Always been very kind to me since I met him a few years ago.

I was given the pick of his loft many times and any time I needed advice I knew Jock would be a phone call away.

I was totally gobsmacked Watty and before i had time tae gather ma thoughts and thank him properly he had left, am still gobsmacked the now, unbelievable generosity and thoughtfulness to give the quality of these birds away to help another fancier and another club.

When the thread came up the other week about Class, this was the type of action that i was referring to as being TOP CLASS.
