Well, you can jump right in as a fully fledged yobo by purchasing a bayonet, machete or sword, gallowgategal, but ah wid recommend breaking yerself in gently by practicing wi a broken bottle or smashed tumbler in the local hostelry. Remember, when ye're slicin yer victim's face tae try an achieve an artistic pattern - the photie will look better in the papers.

Ye don't hifty go back tae the 30s tae see Glesca's gangs, this news article is fae the 60s and shows that Glesca wiz stull steeped in gang culture. It is part o the social history of Glesca and the merr we write aboot it and talk aboot showin it up fur whit it is. It is and to some extent, still is a part of Glesca's history warts and all.

i know quite a few people in this film but there is one john webster now if there would have been more men like him the eastend would have been a better place

Hi gallowgategal, how about we make oor aine gang, you come from the gallowgate, i lived in barrowfield, we could call ourselves the camlachie pensioners. we could hing aboot a street corner and make a total erse of ourselves, we could threaten every wein that tries to pass by we oour walking sticks and maybe even a zimmer. what dae ye think, do want to join or no? andyt.

[Nell]

Didn't know him myself Foster, but a truly great person who appeared to be ploughing a lone furrow, I wonder what he is doing now.

[TT RIP]

Who ye talkin aboot, Nell? If it's Frankie Vaughan, the poor sowel's deid.

[Nell]

Ahm talking aboot the man in the film Foster referred tae, John Webster, he seems like a guy who cares aboot folk and puts his money where his mouth is by gaun oot and daen something practical tae help

[andyt]

Nell & TT john webster was the minister at bernard st. in the early 60's. he also ran the church house club and he was a good guy, you could always talk to him. i went camping with him twice, isle of arran and oban, great fun had by all. he was the minister at st. francis at queen mary st. dont know what happened to him, saw him on t.v. once think it was late call in the early 80's. andyt.
