043 Jamie Sandilands: Whitburn leaving the juniors, 2 games in 9 months as a new boss, Lee McCulloch and Charlie Miller
SO we thought things had been tough going in the West Jamie Sandilands took up his first management role last May – but has since had just TWO games in charge. The Whitburn Juniors boss had to wait until December for his first match in the dugout. Then he saw the East Region Premiership South go back into lockdown soon after. We’ll talk to Jamie about how he’s found his first year in management after 12 years coaching at Larkhall Thistle and Arthurlie. We’ll find out why The Burnie are the latest club to leave the juniors - and why Jamie thinks they're a sleeping giant he's ready to awaken. We’ll look back on Jamie’s playing career as a goalie which started in Motherwell youth teams alongside the likes of Lee McCulloch and Stephen Craigan. There's making his debut for Carluke Rovers when he had a cut running from his ear to nose - and why he loved every moment of it. Plus there's facing Charlie Miller at the age of 11 and why he gave away his cup loser's medal at Johnstone Burgh after defeat to...Whitburn!
