Scotsman Sports Writer Alan, was delighted to win Sports Feature Writer of the Year at the Scottish Press Awards dinner last month. Alan writes:"I just know it would have interested me to know that someone had gone into any form of journalism from school when I was there (nobody really mentioned Andrew Marr to me!). Submissions for the award were interviews with 1970s Scotland World Cup stars David Harvey and Don Masson and also a piece on the ill-fated attempt to merge Hearts and Hibs in the summer of 1990, a hugely controversial episode which I remember reading about in the Old Library at school. I hope Loretto pupils are still given access to newspapers in this internet age as they remain - in my opinion - an important and very much still relevant portal to the world".
