Did he have a pub in Marple ?

I referred to this in another thread ages ago - apparently it was The Yew tree

Edit: or as someone has most likely correctly eluded to it was the Royal Scot........

 

[WEMBLEY76]

Met him in 2006 when I was a corporate steward in and around his presidents room at the Etihad,loved talking about how he helped set up the Junior Blues back in the 1970s,a real proper Blue with the club in his heart and soul.RIP Blue

I'll crack open the that GlenSotia 15 yr old and drink to his passing later tonight R.I.P. Ian.
Like someone else has said Ian got me a fair few tickets durring the early 70's as he knew my old man and grandad. I boozed in the Scott 76 ish Frank Hayes used to go in for a pint or two.

Ian was old school blue. He must have been thrilled to witness the last decade. God speed Ian.

 

[Didsbury Dave]

The bluest blue of them all. I had a pint with his grandson in Porto. He’d brought his grandad over with the club and he knew that he didn’t have long to go. I think he saw that final as his grandad’s destiny, his final resting place as a man who’d been part of the fabric of the club for a large part of its history. It was a lovely and quite an emotional half hour.

Seen him struggling up the stairs at nearly every home game this season including midweeks. He really was City until he died. Good life lived Ian. Rip
