NEIL WILSON, TOWN CHAMPION IN 2016, 43 YEARS OLD

“The town champion has always been armour-clad. We had to source my armour – because it has to fit – from battle re-enactment people down south. When the turf-cutter digs up that big bit of turf, he shouts ‘It’s a’ oor ain’. That means something to me. I’m a Musselburgh man through and through, and the saying for me is absolutely ‘Musselburgh is ours’. People ask, ‘What makes Musselburgh?’ I say the one thing for me is community.”
