Local businessman, and ex-Chairman of Greenock Morton, Douglas Rae, passed away last night. The club was doomed after some very poor ownership nearly led to administration and insolvency, with buckets going around the ground to pay players wages (sound familiar?), but he stepped in and saved the club.
Met him on a few occasions at hospitality events at Cappielow, and seemed a genuine bloke. Owned Golden Casket confectioners, who make Millions and Half-Pounders bags of sweets (can see the factory from my window).
RIP

The late Douglas Rae OBE
MORTON have announced the death of club honorary president and former chairman Douglas Rae OBE at the age of 87.
Mr Rae recently stood down from his position as chairman of the club due to ill health.
He passed away last night.
Born on 14 June 1931, Mr Rae attended his first Morton match aged eight alongside great friend Arthur Montford and held a season ticket each and every season thereafter until joining the board in 1988.
After over eight years as a director, he resigned from that role in August 1997 prior to a regime change at Cappielow before returning to buy a controlling interest in the club and preserve its very existence.
Mr Rae stepped in to prevent administrators from putting the club into liquidation in August 2001 and went on to serve as chairman for 17 years.
Morton’s announcement said: “As a supporter, he saw the club participate in national cup finals and watched as footballing icons such as Sir Stanley Matthews and Tommy Lawton turned out for the Ton as war-time guests.
“However, it was more recent events that ranked as personal highlights, including victory over Peterhead to clinch the 2002-03 Third Division championship and a shock League Cup success at Celtic in September 2013.
“Owner of successful local confectionery firm Golden Casket, Mr Rae was the recipient of an Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the Queen’s birthday honours list in 2016.
“He stepped down as Morton chairman in April 2018, following the final game of the 2017/18 season, due to ill health and took up the role of honorary club president while passing the stewardship of the club to his son Crawford.
“There will be no further comment and we would ask that everyone please respect the privacy of the Rae family at this difficult time.”
Met him on a few occasions at hospitality events at Cappielow, and seemed a genuine bloke. Owned Golden Casket confectioners, who make Millions and Half-Pounders bags of sweets (can see the factory from my window).

I visited that shop earlier this year, it’s really very small and rather scruffy, not as it appears on tv at all. They have built a small bar next door which Rick jnr tends in the evening. There is a sweet shop below it where Chumlee goes each day and signs stuff and has selfies taken. I saw Chumlee there and he seemed very friendly toward the public. I was taken by just how short he was.
Sad that the old fella has passed. RIP.

From what l've heard and read, the section of the shop that where the show is made, is closed off to the public.
Alan Gilzean, played up front with Jimmy Greaves at Spurs. RiP
RIP.
Quite a record - 169 goals in 190 appearances for Dundee, 93 in 343 for Spurs (when he was competing with first Greaves and then Martin Chivers for chances) and 12 in 22 for Scotland.
RIP Lord Carrington, last surviving member of Churchill’s 1950s government, last hereditary peer to hold a great office of state, honourable enough to resign over an intelligence failure during the Falklands war, winner of the Military Cross in WW2.
From a generation of politicians who fought in the war and who served in politics out of a sense of obligation rather than ambition, regardless of party. Well, most of them.

Paul Madeley, 700 games for Leeds and a fair few for England. Hard as nails but a bit more subtle about it than some of his team mates.
