Archie Aikman

Archie Aikman (23 March 1925 – 21 February 1998) was a Scottish footballer who played for Rangers, Falkirk, St Mirren, Stenhousemuir and Dundee United. He finished as the top scorer in the Scottish Football League Division One in the 1947–48 season, scoring 20 goals. He signed for Manchester City in 1948, however due to a car crash in pre-season he never played a competitive game for them.

In the late 1950s and early 1960s, Aikman worked with Glasgow-based station Scottish Television as a regular contributor to long-running show Scotsport and also found time to cover irregular shifts as a relief continuity announcer (often out-of-vision, sometimes in-vision) on occasions of holidays, illness or other staff absences in the Theatre Royal.
