Ure, Ian I remember Ian Ure back in the late 1960’s throwing my autograph book over a wall at a main London railway station. He hadn’t even signed the book!

Ure, Ian I was at Ayr Academy at the same time as Ian. My late husband Sam Stevenson was also at Ayr Academy 1956/58 and was a friend of Ian. Ian was a very nice chap easy to talk to and very good looking.
