      1. Tommy Kelso was your grandfather? Fantastic! He played for Manchester City for many years along with Dumbarton, Rangers, Dundee and Scotland national team (which I’m sure you knew). We have a framed picture of Tommy (print from the internet) – Man City is my son’s favorite club and he loved having Tommy’s team picture in his room.
