The Ochilview club have extended an invite to The Wire actor Isiah Whitlock Junior to visit the club’s home ground and offered to send him a football shirt in the club colours after he mentioned them on Twitter.
The actor, who played charismatic politician Clay Davis in the award-winning HBO blockbuster series, replied to a message on the social media platform referencing the Dunfermline and Hearts match being played live on BBC on Friday night. Whitlock Jnr – who also perfomed in Disney’s Cars 3 movie, replied “When they’re playing Stenhousemuir, let me know”, and sparking an invitation from the welcoming Warriors.
Chief executive Jamie Swinney said: “Officially welcome at the home of the Warriors when (a) it’s safe to do so, (b) it suits you. See you at Ochilview soon.”
