    James Connelly Johnstone.

    6 years to the day that he was taken from us.

    Would have been absolutely amazing to see the wee man play.

    Always remember seeing the news. In Admin class * about the internet, as you do, and saw it on BBC News. Just stared at the screen for what felt like about half an hour. Teacher caught me on the internet then saw the headline and my face and didn't even give me a warning of any sort just said minimise it just now.


    R.I.P. You'll never be forgotten wee man :54: :shamrock:!
