Interviewed by Jim Presly on 10/12/07.Summary: Bert was one of the original players of Formartine United team which was started by mill-wright, Eddie Edmonds of Pitmedden. He talks about his childhood and schooldays at Tipperty, Udny Green and Foveran before talking about his working life on farms, including 38 years at Cairdseat. Bert remembers the PoW camp at Pitmedden and what the prisoners of war were made to do in terms of working locally. He talks about the football club, and how Eddie enticed people to sign for the team by offering them half-a-dozen brown eggs, and how he didn't get any! He continued his association with the club after giving up playing.
