Birth date? Can anyone add the date of birth? The Times says he was 78 years old at his death, but I don't have a subscription and can't see if they've published a specific date properly sourced. I'm a little suspicious as there are other "Jack McLean" authors referenced online that were born in 1945. https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/jack-mclean-dies-glasgows-urban-voltaire-and-herald-columnist-95hldkbdg Sfjohna (talk) 08:28, 28 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The Herald published what's likely to be the correct date of birth on the 29th December - as I suspected, The Times got it wrong - McLean was 77, not 78. ^[1] Sfjohna (talk) 08:24, 30 December 2023 (UTC) Sfjohna (talk) 08:24, 30 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
