Pure_Quality 3,295 Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 A sad loss, but fantastic to see him meeting the gaffer and enjoying his time near the end. Always be thankful for what these guys did in the past, to allow us to be what we are today. Rest In Peace. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandyinroyalblue 16,478 Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Just realised Donald was the gentleman in the BBC documentary about Erskine who delivered the newspapers to his fellow veterans at Erskine despite being in a wheelchair.

Yes mate. He was an integral part of life at Bishopton. Most of the Veterans featured in that documentary were Ibrox Regulars. If I didn't obscure all their faces in our photos, you'd recognise lots of them. http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b081zh6d/beyond-the-battlefield-100-years-of-erskine Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will laugh, and maybe (like me), you may shed a tear. After it, you will sit up straighter, stand taller and inside feel immensely proud. There are some very good people in this world.
