Deid (fitba journalist/Dons author)

At the risk of committing a Buc-esque Kirsty McColl gaffe, I've just read in The Herald the obituary of Brian Cooney, hardman fitba writer and author of the interesting but inadequately-edited Stand By Your Reds.

He died in September, it seems, but nae ****er telt me.

Looks like prostate cancer offed him, at 75.

Never knew that either. Wouldn't put his book very high on the list of Dons literature. But he wrote it. So he's a good guy

RIP min
