Tommy Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Heard that long time Don’s fan who, more often than not, dressed in double denim with a scarf on each wrist has passed away. I’m sure older posters will know him. A good lad. RIP Duncan. 2 Link to comment
sheepcrooky Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 He sat not far behind me in the RDS. He certainly knew how to swear 😀 Someone told me at the Ross County game on Saturday he had died, bloody shame that. Seemed a nice enough guy. 1 Link to comment

He taught me swear words 😄 Link to comment

Clydeside_Sheep Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 May he rest in peace. Always sad to hear of a character being lost from the support. 1 Link to comment
Watson Oh The Bar! Scanlon Yes! Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Sad news. My first encounter was sitting in the seat right next to him at the 5-0 capitulation against the SuperJs at McDiarmid in 1990. Main stand for some reason down at the front near the dugouts. Was entranced by the double denim and long hair look. Cant remember much swearing from him, but from then on always spotted him wherever we were at an away game. RIP 1 Link to comment

RDS Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Lovely guy who loved the Dons. Remember him from way backin 70s and paths crossed when my brother served his time as sparky at Hall Russell where Duncan worked 2 Link to comment
Dandyesque Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 He was my neighbour the last 10 years and it was a shock to hear he'd died. Only 66/67. Used to enjoy many a chat about the Dons with him. Just about every text message he'd sign off with FTH. RIP Duncan. 2 9 Link to comment

Edwin Starr Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 BBB says he knew him well. He first met him in 1970 e was called Punk even then well before the music came. He saw him regularly at the fitba in the 70s YY Crew (skinheeds) and he stayed in Vikky road when BBB stayed in Abbey Place in the 80s . He said he was a lovely bloke . Rest in peace Punk.

milne_afc Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 It must be terrible to have a poorly attended funeral. I’d be hoping for triple digits, at least. Link to comment

Poodler Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Has there been a ‘fit do you want your funeral/ wake to be like’ thread? every wake I’ve been too (of young folk passing) has been complete madness. Better than a wedding every day of the week edit, RIP punk obvz Link to comment
