2 comments so far (post your own)Colin Grant joined the club in November 1964. At the time he was Linlithgow's leading scorer and employed as a clerk in a distillery at South Queensferry. However, his career at Easter Road was badly hampered by two cartilage operations in 1968 and he eventually reverted to the junior ranks.
