Alex Harvey – The Mafia Stole My Guitar: Released – 1979 FRANKIE Miller once told me a great tale of the time Alex Harvey phoned him looking for a favour. The request came after Miller had made his acting debut in Peter McDougall’s BBC drama, Just A Boy’s Game. His role as hard man Jake McQuillan was critically acclaimed. In the play – shot in Greenock – challenges by rival gangs to “Come ahead, McQuillan” were met by his memorable ice-cold stare. It could have frozen molten lava. Harvey had a problem with a record company executive who had reneged on a deal. That look was exactly what he needed.
