A FOOTBALL league set up in the memory of a Leven man who lost his life in a road accident in 2002 has kicked off.
Jamie Hogg, who stayed in Parker Terrace, was known as a 'gentle giant' among friends and family before his untimely death following an accident on the outskirts of Lundin Links when his bicycle was involved in a collision with a bus.

The 23-year-old had been travelling to the Old Manor Hotel where he worked as a waiter at the time of the tragedy.

Following his funeral, Jamie's family donated money which was given to them to the homeless charity Cornerstone who decided to use it to set up a football tournament which sees teams of homeless projects from across the county compete for the Jamie Hogg Shield.

Organiser Jim Henderson told the Mail: "Each year we've been getting more teams wanting to play in the competition and it's a real success.

"We set up the competition after Jamie's mum (Ev) came into my work and donated us the money and we thought that it would be a good thing to do.

"The league is a good tribute to Jamie and we're really looking forward to it starting."

Football fan Jamie, who had attended Buckhaven High School, was known as a big Celtic supporter, however, following his death fans of both Celtic and arch rivals Rangers made their own tributes to him by decorating the scene with their teams colours.

The league got under way on Wednesday and will run for the next five weeks featuring teams from Bethany Trust, Home4good and Gilven House amongst others.
