Jack Lowden Instagram – The boy fae Dunblane. I grew up watching your matches at Wimbledon on tv in the kitchen. Staying up late into the summer nights after school. Crumpling ma mum’s top from gripping onto her in suspense. Ma Dad doing nervous, muttering loops of the house before every break point. ‘Nut, he’s fucked it’. You echoing that through the tv, the mic picking up you calling yerself every name under the sun at the smallest mistake. And then that grit would kick in. That Perthshire built engine. And the hands on the boy! Those Maradona hands. The touch, the impossible lobs and the ‘get tae fuck see ye later’ angle bending passing shots. And then there was you. That self deprecation & sense of fairness you maintained alongside your unwavering, tetchy, Shankly-esque self belief made me proud of who we build at hame.
Beauty and iron.
But best of all, was watching ye grow from a bairn to man to a God on that grass.
