billyg Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 Hi Raymond , just spoke to Big John Conway a friend of Derek's. He confirmed the tragic news that Derek collapsed in Well St today on his way to the game , he never regained conciousness and died. A true St Mirren supporter and friend who I first met at an away game in Stranraer in 1973. I am shattered by the news and thoughts are obviously with his family. RIP Derek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIP Derek Truly shocked - Wasnt that long ago at Tynecastle was gonna go try buy a ticket and Derek had won some through league sponsor and gladly gave me one and wouldnt take a penny for it (made sure he got a guiness or 2 though).... Only for me to drop it unknowingly and when I got to the ground and re-traced my steps it was literally outside the bowling club.....Definately a true gentleman and buddie - Thoughts are with his family and others close to Derek RIP Derek, Tragically gone but definately not missed buddie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A true St Mirren supporter and friend who I first met at an away game in Stranraer in 1973. I am shattered by the news and thoughts are obviously with his family. RIP Derek Realy blown away by this. Hadn't heard anything about it until reading the thread just now...even thought I saw him from the back at the game today too...obviously was mistaken. Only thing I do know is that the status thing Mond has mentioned was put up by Derek some time back, maybe a week or two ago or something - I'm sure the mods will be able to check exactly when. Whenever it was I had seen it at the time when he came back on briefly for the first time in some while to make a couple of posts. Definitely wasn't today. Hadn't known Derek nearly as long as yourself or doubtless many others Billy, but had known him for a few years via this and meeting him at games. He was as you say a true Saints supporter and a complete gent who I considered a friend. He will definitely be much missed and my thoughts are with his family. RIP Derek.

Kenny P Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 Nice one Toon. Derek in his favourite place ever ! Thanks Billy. That was 1 of his favourite pictures. He told me when I sent him it, that it was the only picture he had of himself inside Love Street (home). Mods, can you please move this thread to General Discussion where it deserves to be.
