minstral 5,375 Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Jamie Dolan: 1969 - 2008 | Print | E-mail Monday, 01 September 2008 ‘Well legend passes away Motherwell Football Club are devastated to learn of the death of former fans favourite Jamie Dolan. The midfielder was a popular member of the Motherwell squad in the mid -nineties and his death has come as a shock to everyone at the club. Jamie started his career at Motherwell in the late mid eighties after being signed from Forgewood Boys Club. He appeared in the Youth Cup Final at Under 18’s level against Celtic in the 1986/87 season – hitting the bar with a header at 0-0 in a game ‘Well went on to lose 2-1. However, the Youth Ranks couldn’t contain the tenacious and brave midfield dynamo and he soon found himself promoted to the senior squad under Tommy McLean. He was a mainstay in the heart of the Motherwell midfield in the early to mid-nineties and formed part of a famous trio containing Paul Lambert and Billy Davies in ‘Well’s fantastic team of 1994 – 1996. In January of 1997, Motherwell were desperate for a striker to score goals and keep them in the league. Alex McLeish turned to Owen Coyle of Dundee United but the only way the Arabs would let the striker go was if Dolan headed to Tannadice as part of a swap-deal. The move was agreed and after more than two-hundred games in Claret and Amber, he headed to the East Coast. After two seasons in Tangerine, Dolan moved south to Fife to play for Dunfermline where he stayed for a year. A year at Livingston followed, which included a loan deal with Forfar Athletic and he spent his final playing season with Partick Thistle, retiring in 2002 after over 300 league games. He remained active in the game though and was involved in the Junior Leagues for many years. He also retained strong links with Motherwell Football Club, playing an active role in the former players club and assisting the club with Charity and sponsors events. His death, aged just thirty-nine, comes as a terrible shock and everyone at Motherwell Football Club would like to pass on our sincerest condolences to Jamie's family and friends at this sad time. very sad rip.

Jimbo. 952 Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 No age at all man, RIP. Good job it didn't happen during the game yesterday right enough. Liewell would probably'l have tried to have the game abandoned at 4-1 because he'd played against celtic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
