    Exclusive: Gangster asked me to 'do in' Scotland footballer, reveals notorious Hibs hooligan

    Sep 22 2009 By Mark Smith
    A SCOTTISH football star faced death threats over a £300,000 debt to a notorious crime godfather.
    Soccer thug Andy Blance yesterday revealed he was asked to "do in" the international player by a drug kingpin.
    But he refused because the player was a pal. Blance, jailed for five years for smashing an axe through the head of a rival, had been asked to call in the debt earlier this year.
    But the Hibs-supporting hooligan says it would have been "madness" to try to attack the star player he had known for years.
    Blance, 42, gained infamy as part of the violent Hibs gang the Capital City Service, or CCS. In a new book, he tells how he turned into a fully-fledged criminal.
    He revealed: "Recently, I took a call from a well-known gangster. He was looking for a guy who had f****d him about, probably over payment for drugs.
    "That guy just happened to be a Scotland internationalist.
    "For obvious reasons, I can't name him, or even the clubs he has played for, but I hope he managed to make his peace with the gangster, who is not someone you would want to mess with."
    He added: "I was asked if I could 'call-in' the debt. Obviously, we all know what that means. The player was facing a severe doing or even worse. But I refused point blank.
    "Obviously, there are others out there who won't hesitate to use violence against a Scotland player if they are paid enough. It should be a major worry for the player.
    "I will never say who this player is. The secret is safe with me."
    Blance has been pictured in the past with pals such as Celtic's Scott Brown and Rangers' Kevin Thomson. The Record can confirm neither player was involved in the "death threat" incident.
    Blance reveals all about his criminal past, terrace thuggery and jail terms in Hibs Boy: The Life And Violent Times Of Scotland's Most Notorious Football Hooligan.
    His gang became a criminal organisation, running protection, security and shoplifting rings. And he got five years in jail in 1991 for the axe attack on a pub bouncer in Dunfermline, Fife.
    In the book, Blance says: "Some players had more destructive and expensive tastes. I am not just talking here about Hibs players - I have enjoyed nights out with players from a range of Scottish clubs.
    "For these guys fame and fortune and the adulation of football fans isn't enough. I am talking here about cocaine."
    "Itmust havewreaked havoc with their bodies. But there was a more dangerous side-effect - the people it brought them into contact with."
    Harm
    Blance also claims his gang plotted against the late Hearts chairman Wallace Mercer after he tried to take over Hibs in 1989.
    He said: "I am not saying we would have killed him but we had contingency plans to do him serious harm. I better just leave it at that."
    He is now a friend of Trainspotting author Irvine Welsh, who writes the forward for the book.
    Last night, Blance said of his thug life: "That is all in the past now. I have three sons and try to stay on the straight and narrow. I'm not proud of what I did."


    Any ideas who it was anybody?

    Nope no idea but why even mention Brown and Thompson in the report if they can "confirm neither were involved"

    You know this rag Danni. Just likes to plant a wee seed of speculation to get people thinking and making two into four.
