Lived a fair life tbf, top shagger 

[RUL]

[sooth_stander]

He was on the radio just the other day. Sounded on top form.

82's not a bad run at all. 

Can't say he didn't have an interesting time of it.

Apparently so.

Read the same on-line a few days ago.

I’m surprised the media haven’t picked up on it. 
Not like them to respect a family’s privacy.

Ledge of a man

The longterm effects of drinking from The Loving Cup.

[Redmist1903]

Shame, Scottish fitba legend and all round good guy. 

[Helmet]

Shame for him and his family but at 82 he's done ok to keep going for this time.

I assume he has still be on the board until quite recently? - haven't seen anything from the club to suggest otherwise.

 

[Helmet]

His stories are pretty legendary tbh.

[ericblack4boss]

Its very diligent of you to say would be remiss not to

[ericblack4boss]

At the funeral will the be a quota of athletic attendees?

[ericblack4boss]

He should now come out and tell us about Richard Gough

I'm sure he was at some games last season.

[Awayfromhomered]

Shame, seems like a decent guy. Had some life by all accounts

Goodwin had him on the bench for a few games. 

Been as well with him there instead of Goodwin.

[Don_Corleone]

Legend of Scottish football, getting us into major finals when it was actually quite difficult to do so (almost more difficult not to qualify these days - although will still be delighted if we make it).

In terms of Aberdeen - I'll always think of him as the guy who came and helped get things back in the right direction after a long spell of misery. Steadied the ship as they say and brought in McGinn and I think also Hayes if I remember right before handing over to McInnes.

[ericblack4boss]

Aye most of Hun DMC cup winning side was signed by the gwt

[ericblack4boss]

If it wasn't for Craig Brown , Scot Gemmill and Billy McKinlay would never have got near the Scotland squad.

Lovely man, worked with him in the 90s.  Wish him and his family all the best.

[a don in oz]

Ah that's shit news if true. Feel for his family.

Dumb response.

If it wasn’t for Craig Brown, Scotland wouldn’t have qualified for Euro 96 or France 98. 

[thurso]

Really sad to hear this was a lovely man when I met him a couple of times. 
 

Stabilised us after the disastrous McGhee spell and signed some good players who went on to be stars for us

I'm just saying that only Brown being boss have Gemmill a sniff, I think he holds the record of most squad selections without playing
