Former Liberal Democrat Leader, Sir Menzies Campbell, latterly Lord Campbell of Pittenweem but usually known as Ming, has died aged 84 At Glasgow University, where he studied law, he became life-long friends with two future Labour stars - John Smith and Donald Dewar. He also began breaking Scottish records for the 100 and 200 yard sprints. Inevitably dubbed "The Flying Scotsman", he represented Great Britain at the 1964 Tokyo Olympics. Though he failed to win a medal, he went on to captain the British men's team at the 1966 Commonwealth Games in Jamaica. A year later, he set a new British 100m record of 10.2 seconds - beating a young OJ Simpson in the process. The record stood until 1972.
Sad news. One of the best passers of a ball I have had the pleasure of watching. Spoke to him on occasion at away games and he was a smashing fellow. RIP.
Sad news, if correct - as Cityzen has said, a fantastic passer and a nice guy too; he was a key part of the team that I first started watching in 1966; for those who missed him, imagine someone very similar to Robbie Koren, he could split a defence with a pass and could score you a vital goal. RIP
