According to an old reply from George Glass, he WAS Jimmy Campbell's brother (both had the second name Caughley). Don't know if George still thinks this...

Thanks Cris,

Fixed now, George had sent me that information for another article (http://nifootball.blogspot.co.uk/2008/10/family-affair.html) but I had neglected to update this bio.
