Ian Mitchell's wife is a friend. She and her son were so angry at the way the club treated Ian at the end of his time at Tannadice, that they started supporting Dundee after his premature death and are regulars at Dens.
I can't comment on your remarks other than to say she spoke well about the United doctors visiting Ian when he was ill. And spoke well about United being promoted.Quote:

After it, I'm like pure dinghy who was that boy - United player good ane , kept knocking balls about went home later -said to my old man 'just seen some old United player , Ian Mitchell or something' so he's then running out the door going 'what just in the street ? i go nah about an hour ago in the park he was walking his dog -i nearly hit them with a golf ball'
I think he liked him as player
What a terrible story on such a good thread.Quote:
