Rest in peace Donald Farrar Man City royalty

Sad to hear this, Donald was a lunatic but our lovable lunatic. Used to love listening to his stories especially about all the dodgy birds he’d apparently pulled the night before.
RIP Donald

George Eastman. He was the tall bearded villain in a load of 1980s banned video nasties. Also looked a bit like an angry Ruben Diaz.
