Why nominated | I am surprised Donald has not been nominated already. At a time when the Hearts were bad very bad along with Jim Cruickshank and Rab Prentice, Donald was a shining beacon of class. This proven when he was in the final 22 of the Scotland squad for Germany 74 (the strongest Scotland world cup squad ever IMHO). |
Memorable Games | Hearts against Hibs 8/9/73 Hearts 4 Hibs 1, this was
the first game after the you know what one and Donald
scored in the second half. First game of 74(centenary year) Donald scored both in 2-0 win over Motherwell. Bursting the net(literally) against above mentioned well with an absolute thunderbolt in the Texaco or Anglo Scottish cup at Fir park. Scoring against Rangers at Ibrox in 3-0 win 72/73. The guy scored goals for fun. He wasn't as good as Robbo at finishing but, as a bairn he was one of my heroes and just oozed class. |
Other Comments | Thank you for all the memories Donald. |
