mountaineer 452 Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Met this Gentleman in Ayr today , he is not looking too well ,his hearing is diminishing and he looks rather frail my Daughter was one of the nursing staff attending to him at his recent Hospital admittance , what a fine ,fine man , he just will not give in to resting and that is the mark of the man, the amount of people who stopped to say hello to him speaks volumes for the man , the work he has done over the years at all levels of football in the AYR area is magnificent ,he is very quietly spoken and hard at times to make out but all in all a man truly worthy of LEGENDARY status .

Legend is a word used too freely these days, but Mr Hubbard rightly is a legend of our Club, wish I could have seen more footage of him and other greats of our past, Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

only14me 381 Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 A true gentleman with a rapier wit. Wee Johnny always likes to have the last word and it usually ends in laughter. His story, The Penalty King, is worth a read. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
