McCarry One Nil Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 Sad sad news He gave ALL for the cause whatever jersey he wore.

JEccles621 Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 I was having a fairly good day until I logged onto the Forum to get this news. A very very sad indeed today. Don was an inspirational man - on and off the park. A leader of men and someone we, as supporters, could genuinely look up to and respect. Don would always be one of the first names in my all time favourite Saints team. Rest in Peace Don - I feel very privileged and proud to have seen you play on many many occasions for my Club. Sincere sympathies to Don's family. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Buck Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 A great Saint for many years. If I remember correctly did he not score the first Saints goal at McDermid, a penalty V Clydebank ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saintee72 Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 Deeply saddened by the news this morning. Ive been sitting here with tears rolling down my face remembering all the good times, all the great memories. Such a great guy, will never forget his smiling face. He was so passionate about his football, his throw-ins simply immense, for me one of the all time best in a saintees strip. the last few years havent been good for him, his suffering has came to an end. my thoughts are with donna and ther kids. RIP DON ONE OF THE MOST COMMITTED PLAYERS IN FOOTBALL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killiehippo Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 Very sad news and my thoughts are with his wife and kids at this terrible time. Along with another two Killie fans we met Don on holiday in Ibiza probably around 1985. After having a mad footie argument on our first night we became friends and had a great holiday. I kept in touch with Don and we always met up at Muirton for a beer and a bit of footie banter. Sadly we hadnt been in contact in recent years but I'll always remember him as a lovely guy and a top bloke. RIP Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dc Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 Haven't posted on here before but just wanted to add my condolences, Don was a great servant to Saints and a great captain. Captaining the team that got promotion at the end of the 80's was a great achievement and it was a fantastic time to be a Saints supporter, up there with the best times Saints have ever had. I was too young to remember Drew Rutherford but remember Don well, I really hope the club comes up with a lasting tribute to a great man.
