Some years ago this fine fellow here called Colin ‘Sid’ Wilson
came up with this sketch drawing for use in a newsletter produced by some young Motherwell lads called the Tufty Times.
Which I had updated and turned into this :
And used it as my logo for Daft Laddie.
I only found out he drew the original cartoon years afterwards so obviously I sent him over one of these featuring his updated drawing.
I found out later he loved that T-shirt which made me proud as he sadly passed away losing his fight with the big C.
In his honour I am renaming this wee guy Sid and produced these badges, profits of which will go to Chris’s House, as determined by his wife Jane.
A special t-shirt design has been commissioned also and is on sale now, again with profits to a cause determined by Jane.
Sid, you were an absolute legend to so many people, not least my good self and you will always be remembered fondly. Rest easy big fella.
