My record sharpest exit from Pittodrie. Lived in Ellon at the time and I was at Balmedie by the time the 5th went in. I was gone after 3.
Defence was Mulgrew, Considine, Duff, Foster(I think) Our team was seriously bad then. McDonald and Kerr. Mackie, Maguire, Young.
That team might have been pish but it was how unfit they were that stuck with me.
Tommy White, who played as centre forward (Proper Mannies’) for us in the first Dons match I attended, has died aged 80.
We swapped Don Kerrigan for him with Hearts, but he was little better than Kerrigan. I think he went to Crystal Palace along with John McCormick later that season, and seemed to do OK.
His brother was John White of Spurs and Scotland, just before my time, but whose early accidental death (hit by lightning whilst playing golf) I can remember being big news, probably in 1964.
Jeez, I like to think of myself as a bit of a trivia buff but I had nae clue that The Ghost's brother played for us.
RIP fella.
I remember hearing about the lightning strike.
Which is amazing really considering how much younger I am than Vintage.
You retired yet min?
Nah min
You’ve got a golden age supplied by Boris to look forward to first.
