Kilmarnock Gathering of greats

- Barry Richmond

There were legends aplenty at Rugby Park on Saturday for the charity match organised by Kris Boyd’s testimonia­l committee. How good was it to see Alexei Eremenko, Gary Holt and Manuel Pascali back in the stripes? Alan Mahood, Andy Mclaren, Garry Hay… there are a few medals in there but these guys will always have a special affinity with Killie and our fans like nothing more than players with real heart.

The main man’s goalscorin­g record is nothing short of phenomenal and what he has done for us in his three spells has been really appreciate­d. Not long ago four and half thousand would have been a great crowd for a league match, so the attendance figure should not be sniffed at.
