msc 18,448 Posted June 6, 2019 25 years ago, Mark McManus heard about his last murdur. That's Taggart for non-Scots. Used to live near ours, nice guy, but v.shy. Had a hard life - lost his wife, mum, and 3 siblings in the space of a year and basically gave up on life. Remember well the day of his funeral, the roads were mobbed with folk from all over the UK lining the streets of Govanhill! He'd have been dead chuffed... and somewhat mortified!
