I would like to see the gate receipts from the Dumbarton v Thistle pre=season friendly go to his dependents.

A memorial game perhaps?

Received a call about 8:30pm this evening when it wasn't clear what had happened. Clung to the hope that it wasn't the worst possible news and I am deeply saddened to discover that it is tragically true.

I remember how thrilled he and his family were when he signed for Thistle and although it didn't work out at Firhill he was always a personable, popular and approachable guy. I was delighted that he was part of a successful Dumbarton side last season.

I would like to see the gate receipts from the Dumbarton v Thistle pre=season friendly go to his dependents.

Was thinking that myself, yeah. Hope something can be arranged.


Awful news.

Terrible, tragic and very sad news. Gordon was a kind, friendly man.

He was a fantastic club captain.

News of this had just been posted over at the Morton forums, football really doesn't matter when you hear about something like this. Thoughts are with the family and all connected with Dumbarton FC.

RIP.

I believe he was involved in some form of off road activity day up near Inverness when he crashed late this afternoon.

A tragic waste of such young life. And a really genuine guy too.

Condolencies to all his family and friends and especially his girlfriend and young baby.

It just puts things like relegation and promotion into perspective.

I still actually cant believe it or take it in fully yet it was bad enough hearing of this tragedy, but then realising he had a near 6 month old child made it even more devastating.

Dumbarton captain and former Rovers player of the year has been killed in a car crash.

A very nice guy to have a chat with - even when he returned to Ciftonhill with Dumbarton. My sympathies are with his friends and family.

My heart just sank when i read that. One of the best Centre Backs ive seen come up against Arbroath when he was at Albion Rovers and Dumbarton. Always wished he would come an Arbroath player as he was just superb. Dont think ill ever see another awesome CB like him play in the 2nd or 3rd division level again. Gutted.

RIP Mate.

That's how I'll remember him. A smashing player and one of the best tacklers I've ever seen and I include top-level players in that assessment. His anticipation was superb and he was able to magic the ball away from opposition players with no physical contact. Other than passing, his other attributes weren't too shabby either and it was a surprise that things didn't work out for him in full-time football.

A real loss. Rest In Peace.

seemed like a really great guy
