Former manager of Meadowbank Thistle, Stenhousemuir and Alloa Athletic and head teacher of Ainslie Park and Musselburgh Grammar, Terry Christie has packed an awful lot into his 78 years.  Moving from Ireland to Edinburgh at a young age, Terry's love for football was born in the streets with a tennis ball and in going to watch Gordon Smith play for his beloved Hibs with his Mum and brother.  We hear of Sunday fry ups after church, winning football trophies at Primary School, becoming DUX of Holy Cross secondary and attending Edinburgh University, following a path to education whilst building a parallel career on the pitch.    Terry was scouted and signed by Dundee but always knew that he would be a teacher.  We hear tales of juggling the classroom and a football career for 43 years, whilst pulling off countless shocks and triumphs on a shoestring budget, of a happy retirement and a great love of family life.  Back in time we go...
