  1. A lovely guy, and an very underrated boss. When he was Aberdeen manager and I was still at university, I managed to wrangle a one on one interview with him at Pittodrie. Thought I'd get 10 mins with him and some short answers. I was there for about four hours, with him insisting I went for lunch with him first. He was cheeky and smart enough to test me and see if I'd go spilling things I shouldn't, so fed me nonsense about Aberdeen having confirmed a pre-season tour in Russia to see if it made the papers, which of course I ate up (but thankfully didn't publish). Last met him five years ago on the 20th anniversary of Scotland v Brazil. I could have sat all day and listened to his stories. Like someone said today, "I hope he's written a book and it gets released now, because it'll be brilliant." As Aberdeen manager he had a horrible job to do; take over a shambles of a team and try turn the ship around. Got us to (I think, from memory) three semi-finals with a bang average squad. Put in place the building blocks for McInnes to go on and win the cup. RIP to an absolute gentlemen.

  2. Shame, lovely gentleman. I liked the way he continued on at the club after leaving, given he had no long-term affiliation. His commentary was always interesting and thoughtful when on Red TV too. A great ambassador, basically.

  4. Very sad news. You won’t hear anyone say a bad word about him. Fantastic company for those that have met him.

  5. Aye saw that Panda Could turn out to be their greatest contribution to the club. If we get Williams, let's hope he turns out to be more Danny Ward/Leighton Clarkson than Ryan McLaughlin

  6. He was recently on holiday with Leighton Clarkson, Shayden Morris and Jayden Richardson. Shay and Jay get a lot of stick, but they might be worth keeping around if they're going to be so helpful with our summer recruitment.
