RIP Ebbe

[57vintage]

From Richard Gordon’s ‘Tales From The Dugout’:

“Referee Kenny Clark, when he was fourth official as the Dons were being routed by Motherwell,

“Ebbe turns to me and says, ‘I want to make a substitution’. I remind him I need the…numbers of the players going on and coming off so that I can input them into my electronic board. He…returns with the sheet, but it’s only got the number of the player he wants to put on. I tell him I need to know who he wants subbed off, and he replies, ‘You pick. They’re all pish’.”

It was a direct quotation from the book, so the tautological ‘input...into’ is not mine

Managed the team as I was first introduced to the club as a young loon. Will always live long in the memory. RIP Ebbe.

Thought Id pop on to make my tribute to Ebbe, He was a lovely Man despite us taking some awful wallopings during his (en) duration, I once spent a lovely hour in his company at the Braemar Gathering in the beer tent of course, He absolutely loved Aberdeen and Scotland RIP Sir x
