Willie Harper was my great uncle, two of my grandsons and a nephew are HUGE hibs fans who are puzzled and disbelieving when I explain this to them. My maternal grandmother (Flora Black nee Harper) was his sister and I actually met him a few times. Would it be possible to arrange a stadium tour for the young descendants.
Thanks
