Alan
Brazil
Sport |
|
Alan
played for Spurs, Ipswich and Manchester United
before injury cut short his career. He could
simply have felt sorry for himself but Alan has far
too much character for that. Instead, he went on to
carve out a new career as a popular presenter with
talkSPORT Radio - a job he still loves. |

Erin
Gavin

|
Erin,
like many former Holyrood pupils, has enjoyed a
varied and successful life since leaving school. She
has worked as a model and also as an air steward.
More recently, Erin has enjoyed success in the world
of acting having made a number of TV and film
appearances. |

Owen
McGee
Music |
|
Owen
Paul McGee (Brian McGee's younger brother) is
talented! At 15, his football skills saw him
on Celtic's books yet he also had enough talent to choose a career in the music
industry using the name Owen Paul. In 1986 he had a
huge hit with the song My Favourite Waste of Time. |

Mick
Davis
Film |
|
Mick
Davis enjoyed the cinema as a youngster and
went on to become a highly successful writer and
director in the film industry. One of his
films, The Match, was about a grudge match
between two Scottish football teams. He also
wrote and directed Modigliani which tells the
tragic story of the great Italian painter who was a
rival to Picasso. |

Tony
Curran
Acting |
|
Tony
is a successful character actor who has appeared in
many stage, TV and film roles. After
Holyrood, he studied at the Royal Scottish Academy
of Music and Drama. His ability to play
straight and comic roles has helped keep him very busy.
In one recent film we saw less of him than usual ...
when he played The Invisible Man! |
|
Irene
Graham
Politics |
|
Irene
studied English & Drama at Glasgow University before
starting a family. After doing voluntary work as a
young mum in Castlemilk for 5 years, she taught
English & Drama and then began working in the
voluntary sector. Irene became a local councillor in
1995, a natural step after many years active in the
community. Her remit is taking forward all the
equality issues in the Council. Irene represents
Victoria Park Ward. (more) |
