Jimmy Feeney was born in Duns in 1938 and grew up in the Earlsmeadow area and attended the primary and secondary schools in the town. He was signed for Hibernian as a teenager then joined the RAF in 1956 while 'National Service' was still in operation. He served as a cook though he also played football for the combined forces. Returning to Duns after 'demobilisation' he tried several jobs before he became a builder apprenticed to Henry Steele. Here Jimmy talks about this period.
