RIP Donald Farrar

RIP

My best memory was Blackburn away we got a very early train from Victoria to avoid police
Donald turned up with sunglasses and tapping a white cane as he walked down the platform

Donald’s logic was the police won’t recognise him if he was blind

RIP DD
Lent you many 10p's and you never paid me back but thats OK!

DD got off the DF coach at Birmingham City for a midweek night fixture at St Andrews with me directly behind him. Some poor woman serving hamburgers from one of those push around hot dog stands was right next to the doors. He leaned over the facade of the trolley and yelled at her "I fuckin' 'ate brummies".

Her reply in what can only be described as a fine clipped "Yam Yam" accent was "A don't even cum frum Birmingham".

Had me rolling laughing.
 
i reckon with all the 10ps alone i gave him he must have been an eccentric milionaire ;) - he even had several Bensons of me once and then came back for a lighter - funny bugger

As ive posted on here many times - my abiding memory of him will always be trying to rally the lads out of the pub at York away to front up Leeds - RIP Donald - a character for sure
 
Long before the days of Cup schemes and loyalty points.

Exactly it was "Do you fancy it today?" Jump on a bus, coach or train and so started the aventure never knowing what would occur. Great barmy days, we were all much younger and daft back then, but none so daft as Donald. He'll be mithering God for 10p up there.
 
He'd sometimes go to away games with Mostonian coaches. Coming out of White Hart Lane in the Police escort we were chatting when all of a sudden a Chelsea fan appeared and told him in quite graphic terms what will happen to him when we play at the bridge in the coming weeks. He told the Chelsea fan he'd be there and he's looking forward to catching up. Barmy bugger.

Brilliant.
 
I’ve told this story before on here but it’s worth repeating..
My mum used to be the manager of a travel agents on the top floor of Middleton arndale centre.
Donald used to hang around on the top floor with his mates.
Security guards were always moving them on.
Anyway one day my mum has made Donald a brew, he’s sat on the sofa in the shop having a chat with my mum when a security guard walks in.
He begins to tell my mum that she shouldn’t have him anywhere near her, he’s a piece of shit and would rob her blind at the first opportunity.
My mum tells the security guard he’s alright and he’s always been nice to her.
Then about a week later my mum clocks Donald walking across the top of the arndale centre towards her shop looking around and looking rather shifty, he’s also got his hand inside the front of his jacket like he’s hiding something.
My mums now remembering what the security guard said : )
Then as he gets in the shop he pulls his hand out of his jacket and pulls out a glass red rose.
He tells my mum ‘I’ve bought you this cos everyone treats me like shit but you’ve always been really nice to me’
Turns out the reason he was looking about and looking shifty was cos he didn’t want his mates to clock him lol
As for ‘bought’ anyone who knew Donald knows with a 99.99% certainty he robbed it.

Rest in peace Donald.
