I grew up in a protestant household in Liverpool and went to single denomination schools. I even naively joined the OL when I was just a young kid brainwashed by those around me. Even more stupidly I had a Rangers / Union Jack tattoo put on my arm in Blackpool when I was 17. At that time I hated Celtic more than Man Utd or Everton.
All that changed after Hillsborough. As I've said a few times before in this forum and on Koptalk I was stretchered off that day. Luckily I was one of the first on the pitch and although I passed out I was OK and the injuries healed after a couple of months - unlike my mate Alan Johnston ("Mally") who was with me in the Leppings Lane and died aged just 29.
I was invited to the Memorial game two weeks later at Celtic Park and stood side by side with 60,000 Celtic fans in the most emotional atmosphere I have ever experienced in my life. It was a privilege to be with those fans and on the bus back to Croy their fans (mostly unemployed or low waged blokes) raised over £130 for the Hillsborough Disaster Fund.
Reading those comments on that Celtic website I am sat here in tears but the phrase "you'll never walk alone" has never been more appropriate...
There is a light that never goes out. RIP Alan "Mally" Johnston and the 96. YNWA.

Orange Lodge, like rushscored4, my heritage is strongly Protestant, and I was forbidden from marrying into Catholicism, my grandfather was Grandmaster of a Glasgow Lodge, I hope I have not passed any of them prejudices on to the next generation.Originally posted by Red Chilli View PostWhat's the OL?
Great thread RS4, welling up here.

Cheers.
Interesting all this Lodge business. Was it all about being Protestant and following Christianity or was it just like a bloke's club?
