Al was born in 1976. He began his life at Courthill Caravan Park at Auldgirth. Al was the first born to Rosemary Wilson and James Wilson. He was also the first born grandson of James and Martha(Bunty)Sim. As a baby i was a crabbit sod and somethings never changed lol. I slept all day an screamed all night and that neva changed either. At a year I moved to Locharbriggs. As a kid i went to locharbriggs primary and met some of my best mates Bobo Rennie, Gazza Smith an Dougal to name but a few and they stayed with right through the school. At this time I also attended the Boys Brigade and was involved in the Duke of Edinburgh awards for sometime. It was in 1983 his sister Laura was born. This was when i cried like a baby for month because he wanted a brother to play football with not and i quote "a bloody wee sister". However as time went on we actually did become quite close.
