it'sJustMeDude Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 A true gentleman. Always had time for a blether. The many times I met him in East Kilbride at the shops we'd spend a good half an hour at least talking football. Trained with him once & a top keeper.

dolano7 Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Still in shock. One of my favourite team mate since the day I saw him, in my first training with Kilsyth Rangers, he make me feel welcome straight away, and telling me to sign for us Kilsyth. Always tell me to keep stick in, focus, and chances will come come come & that I will become better and better player for Kilsyth. Very graceful that I sit next to him in the changing room for many many seasons. His changing room banter, hyper, wild & crazy! Always make the lads laugh, smile, buzz mode for the game kick off, bus away trip banter, cards, laughing, always make sure everyone having good time with no matter what. He always got time for everyone in the football, absolutely legend No1 Goalkeeper and a friend Thank your your advice, always make sure I am good and beilive in me all over the years, you always told me not to quit too early and got many years left in me, Kilsyth Rangers & I will never forget you Micheal Duke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auldgeezer Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Absolutely terrible news today. One the most well known players in junior football and this news will affect a lot of people. Was with him at Kilsyth for a good few years, working with him at training and always liked to wind everyone up. Usual shout ''a fiver if you score past me'' and if first shot did..he replied he wasn't ready. Great servant to Kilsyth and deserved his testimonial last year. It was an honour to be asked by him to play in it. Thoughts are with his family. Rest in peace Dukesy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
