Boab 73 Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 Looking at that pic, might remind some Bears of the death of Coop as he was a Motherwell legend too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KERRZO 5 Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 John Brogan (the Hamilton striker mentioned in Bazza's book) phoned earlier to tell me and ma dad that he had passed away. I think he was quite close to the O'Donnell family. It's a real shame as he has left behind his wife and 4 kids and was only 35, thats far too young 2 go!!! On another matter if our away support cant observe a minute's silence for a decent pro on the 2nd at Parkhead I'll be disgusted but I'm sure when it comes to general decency then sense will prevail and morons will abait to respec O'Donnell's legacy!!!
