Heartbroken Edinburgh teammates of tragic teen footballer Andrew MacKinnon plan memorial

The former coach of 15-year-old Andrew MacKinnon who tragically lost his life playing football near Forrester High School last week has organised a community car wash to raise money for the family.

Jamie Brodie, 38, from Sighthill, coached Andrew when he helped to take over the running of the 2007 Salvesen team. Having worked as a former valet, the father-of-five will be at gate 55 car park just off of Sighthill Crescent, working alongside some of Andrew’s old teammates and friends to service people’s cars for a donation.

Jamie says that the response has been amazing with local businesses contacting to see if they can help in any way possible. He hopes that the car wash event will allow some of Andrew’s mates the chance to chip in and honour their friend.
