East stand renamed to honour Sailor Hunter
The club has announced that the east stand will henceforth be named "The John Hunter Stand". Among his great contribution to MFC was the winning of the League Championship in 1931/32.
Here's Eddie Ferguson's GLF Legend's piece.

Agreed HD. If anyone deserves this recognition its Sailor. His service and success will never be equalled.

I'd go along with that. Be amazed though how many current fans even know of the man. Not a criticism by any means, just a fact of life.

That happens with the passage of time. Giant figures from our past such as Hughie Ferguson, Willie MacFadyen, John Blair, and Hugh Wales are virtual unknowns. Even more recent names such as Wilson Humphries, Willie Redpath and Dixie Deans mean less and less to upcoming generations. Thats the natural way of things I guess.

Cant argue with the decision. I am just sorry that they have not been able to find a way of honouring Joe Wark yet

Couldn't agree more Joe Wark gave more to the club than the so called stars of today,and more importantly was a genuine good player! Originally Posted by bheron
