Brian Christie, one-time Grade One SFA ref and Chair of the Aberdeenshire FA has died aged 59.

He played in goal for Malt Mill in the Sunday League in the 1980s and gave us gigs there when he managed the place earlier this century. He was an affa loon.

I believe his Grade One status came under question when he 'became involved' as linesman in a 'tunnel incident' at Firhill.

Good guy.
