This was the one where he memorably send a sheepish looking Durrant down to the dugout with instructions I think the OF game with Walter in the directors box with the Durrant GIF was the one in 09/10 with Andy Little starting at RB? Miller scored a double? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSuedeSambas 54,895 Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 The Game Podcast from The Times spent some time talking about him at the beginning of their episode the other day. Gregor Roberson (a celtic fan) and particularly Jonathan Notcroft (an Aberdeen fan) both have nothing but nice words to say about him. Worth listening too.

We went onto win the game. I remember he did something like this against Motherwell near the end of that season. Team was panicking he went mental at ref, crowd responded. He backed down and camera went on him with a wee smile of his face. Thought it was brilliant management. BridgeIsBlue and Essandoh 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcbear 10,924 Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 I honestly think he deserves a statue, and watching all the clips through the years it would have to be the cup/trophy in his right hand raised aloft in classic Walter style, even if it is a madame tussauds high quality one in the museum it should be done.

Life is cruel It's not I kind of thought he was older. I thought he was old in the 90s as I was a kid and he had grey hair, was only in his 40s. Thinking about it he retired at 63 to pave the way to Ally again thought it was right at the time, but it's not old at all.
