Diamond

Think this is worth a thread of it's own.
Not always everybody's "cup of tea" was Zander but nevertheless, right at the start of his time with us he showed massive potential that he never really fulfilled, but yet always played 100% for the jersey.
Sad to see him forced into retirement through a back injury when still relatively a young lad.

All the best Zander

I’d seriously question that 100% effort. We dont get along but I wish him all the best for the future. He’s a bright lad & he’ll do well

Ooooooohhhhhh, controversial !!!!

Personally, i thought he was a big oaf who barely tried against the unwashed and thought he was way better than he actually was. In my opinion, he looked good with the players beside him, namely Anderson.

Would never wish anyone serious injury that played for us, but not joining the candle lit vigil due to him having to retire either.......

So, that time he scored two goals against the JJs to come back and get a 4-4 draw then went f u c k i ng loopy, smoke screen was it?

Early on Diamond looked a right prospect but things went on the slide a bit after the ill advised pic with the raselick birthday cake/head band thing.

It wouldn't surprise me to learn that the JJs made a bid for him that we knocked back at some point (as unlikely as that may sound) cos something changed for the boy somewhere.

Remember this was the guy that sat in amongst the Dandies at the Giro-dome giving it "Stand Free" the night of Budgie's late winner.

Sad that a young player never achieved what he could, sadder still that his career is done at a young (very young for a centre back) age.

If he did that then I doff my hat to him (although my memory tells me it was someone else)

I was there the Budgie night.... absolutely fantastic, and then up the road listening to the John Peel tribute show taking place in his usual spot ( at the time of his death)...

Peel had died either that week or the previous week...but I think it was the day before?

Diamond scored 2 in a 4-2 win not in the 4-4 draw which was a couple of years later

Saw photographic evidence of Zander being there and heard eye witness accounts of him at least clapping along to Stand Free, unconfirmed (second hand) reports of him singing it.

Aye, got the 4-4 ad 4-2 games confused.........was the 4-2 game nae Jimmy C's "shelf life" media b0ll0ck dropping?

Aye that was the shelf life game...he hardly won a game after that...

Well good on him then...I wish the loon all the best now that his football days are over..
I remember when he scored against the deid club near the start of his career in a 1-1 draw..
We all left the ground that day thinking he wouldn't be at Pittodrie long...alas it didn't turn out that way

[donsdaft]

Ah shame.

Tim c'unt




What's he going to do now, be a male model?

[Aldo1983]

Never really got the hatred for him. I suppose it's Tim v Hun thing though.
