I too, clicked onto this site via a newspaper footballing blog. When reading the story, it took my breath away. In an age when the term ?hero? is bandied about with abandon, sometimes the true nature of heroism is lost. But reading of such actions makes one humble and full of awe. May his legend never be forgotten?

I once spent a New Years in Carluke (1990/91). At that time, I was not aware of this man's history. A truly moving story of an unassuming hero.

This is a truly amazing story, both moving and inspiring. The bravery of the men involved is outstanding, and their modesty in subsequent years speaks volumes about the men themselves. Truly, this story is the embodiment of heroism.

Clicked on a link on a football website article about footballers who had earned military awards.
What an amazing, inspiring story. There are incredibly brave and honourable people walking among us whose true heroism comes to light only at those terrible moments when the rest of us choose to stay in the shadows.
Thank you for bring us this man's unforgettable story.

Excellent site though there are some discrepancies in regards to the footbslling career of William Angus who actually only ever played one trial game for Celtic back in 1911.

He was a true Scot, that's what they did.
"Fear Nought" and be proud.
It is a shame the same values are not continued.

A credit to Carluke,Scotland,Great Britain and Glasgow Celtic.There were reports in the press a minority were going to boo the minutes silence for the war dead at Parkhead yesterday,they should be ashamed if they knew their history they would know about William Angus VC.
