Found advert for John Sneddon on Mull in 1989/90 Scotlands Own year book.

 

Does anybody have any info on who he was?

Try Jim Mc Beath of Avonbridge, think he had some from there?

he is originally from glenboig and think he flew pigeons in th old border club way back he moved to isle of mull a number of years ago think it was a hotel or bed and breakfast he had, supplied him with rings when i was secretary of the old coatbridge premier club way back in the 80s along with his friend the late john mallon also from glenboig quite sure he is still alive as the last i heard he had moved think it was to BLACKPOOL but could be wrong all his stock pigeons came from louella at the time and he had some smashing grizzles he only bred them and sold them quite cheap think it was to keep his interest in the pigeons ,hope this helps ally

Hi people, John is my grandad. He is still alive, living in Leeds. Hasn't had pigeons for a few years now. Let me know if you want any more information about him.

 

Glad to hear that and welcome to the site
