I had an article from The Sheffield Star many years ago when he was nicked over there.
The headline was the judge saying that to support Man City you have to be mad.
Met him a few times, larger than life character.

BLUE THROUGH AND THROUGH !!!
BLUE THROUGH AND THROUGH !!!
Few years before that we ended up in Darwen about 10-30 waiting for a pub to open in the end we got a bus to a boozer nearer the ground fuck all happened but was funny as fuck all morning. I was with a load of younger lads from Stalybridge he claimed he could enrol them into the Young Guvnors for a small fee pmfslIf that was the promotion game, I was with him on way back on the train. Train stopped at Horwich and Bolton had a little welcoming party waiting, all off he shouts, we had it with em for a minute or 2 then we ran em off. We both ended up with a pair of sunnys we'd grabbed off em, his were Armani and mine were some 10 bob snide make. On getting back on the train I said "Hey Donald these glasses I've just got are mint,proper designer, I'll swap you for the ones you got". He replied, "Fuck off! I'm daft not fuckin stupid!" Legend.

my claim to fame is he actually offered to give me 10p...
i was getting ready to move abroad and doing a carboot sale outside rochdale town hall,
plenty of man city memorabilia involved.
donald wandered over to my pitch and saw it all,
looked me up and down & said "do i know you?"
i said "well, i know you."
he said "i'm fucking sure i remember you. i don't forget a face"
we chatted for ages about away games.
eventually he pointed to the rosler's grandad bombed old trafford t-shirt and said,
"i'll give you 10p for that, i've always wanted one."
i had been looking for decent money for it and already turned down £25, but i just gave it to him for nowt, pissing my sides.
anyway, 10 minutes later he came back,
"i've got something for you."
he handed me a tiny sky blue carriage clock.
how fucking sweet.
if any of his relatives are reading this,
the t-shirt in question had a blim-burn hole above the o in rosler,
so it actually looks a bit like there are 3 umlauts, haha.
r.i.p. fella x

He was entwined into the fabric of Manchester City like very few before him, every blue either knew him or had heard of him, in days before social media that was quite a feat.

What a bloody character and always remember him on the Special Trains they used to run, always on the scrounge but a loveable rogue is the best way I can describe him.
RIP Donald.

On 10 mins (or 20!)
“There’s only one Donald Farrar,
Walking in a Farrar wonderland..”
