Simple question. Do you trust Daft Donald?

Unless I'm mistaken, Sir Donald of Farrington kicked his son out of the house for declaring his support for United.

For that alone he should be knighted.....again.

O aye

I'l raise me glass to that, Sir Donald of Farrington

I'm not supposed to let this leak but I can tell you with confidence that the Sheik has commissioned a bronze statue of Donald which will stand outside the main entrance and greet the players and dignitories as they arrive.
It will commemorate the time back in the early 90s when after about 7 minutes of a match at Valley Parade, Donald wandered out of the Bradford end, straight accross the corner of the pitch and into the City fans. Incidentally, he was wearing a babies nappy on his head at the time while shouting "has anybody got any chips or what?". He proceeded to shake hands with about 600 City fans and missed the game completely.
 
Anyone who can carry off wearing the same pair of Farahs over 4 decades needs some sort of recognition.

It must be put to the powers that be that if we are to have a 'city street' then a statue of Donald should be the forefront of this new concept. I can see it now, a 10ft bronze statue of Donald with a 10pence in his hand. A marriage made in heaven.

My endearing image of him is in an overhead locker on a train to Newcastle circa 82/83ish trying to avoid the hector. I wouldn't mind but we were all jibbing it but obviously Donald thought that there was some kind of invisible cloak in the said lockers....happy days!

Maybe they could throw in a bit of laser vision as well as his eyes aren't what they used to be.


And in answer to the question. I would trust him with my life, especially compared to the bouncing little Danny Dyers on that embarrassing video clip from Saturday. Never mind kick the police dog...he would have bitten it back.

You're too quick for me. But it is ironic isn't it? Or just coincidence?

Donald is a topp man n' were always a pleasure to be around.

Deffo coined the thrase "thingie" in early 80's in reference to forgettin names.

Forever a legend n' part of the furniture in this great city.

I've known him over 30 years.. and he still calls me 'Fingie'..
 
My old man is Chris ,but the Donald used to call him ' Chriseh ' ,which drove him mad .

l'm Joe ,but he calls me ' Joe-eh ' and just to compound things he usually says '' Ariiight , Joe-eh ,are you Chriseh's lad or what ?''

l think the rule is he either adds an ' eh ' to your name or just plumps for thingeh .

Therefore l wouldn't trust him to get anyone's name right .

I love the statue idea.

I'd say it's true spritual home would be right where the away fans come out of the ground.

I like the 10p idea but I'd have him stood in front of a fruit machine with it.

Why not use the statue as an x ray machine. His bronze specs can scan away fans for any dangerous weapons on the way in. If any weapons are found, the statue can be fitted with an alarm which shouts "Fingie! Fingie! Fingie! Fingie!" and constructed with a hydrualic arm which automatically banjoes the fuckers and then collects up all their loose change via a magnet on his bronze Farahs.
 
I still remember him asking my sister if she wanted a new aerial for her house before proceeding to climb onto the roof of a three storey building in Middleton town centre before shouting, 'Sue, is this one ok?' She hadn't even said yes to his first question.

Then had a great conversation with him on a bus upto Langley one day about City and England.

Pure legend, but not seen him for ages!

It has to be this.

He could deposit said loose change down his highly-visible arse crack.

He was a trend setter even then. A builders bum before builders bums entered the vocabulary. When you add them all up Donald has contributed a lot to modern society as well as football.

Surely one of you facebook dwellers can start a campaign? And with the forthcoming proposal of elected peers then the 1st earl of Middleton is only a few votes away!!!


Fuck Gordon, he's had his 15mins of fame, Donald is the real deal!!!!
 
The great man once turned up at the Away end at Tranmere as Blues were queing to get in with a carrier bag full of Strawberry mivvies .

He had ice-cream smeared all over his face and announced, '' Have l got a treat for you lot ''

He worked his way along dishing them out saying come on eat the fuckers before they melt .

His parting shot as he disappeared through the turnstile was '' lf l owe anyone any money ,lets call it quits '' .
 
See Donald ocassionally in the Middleton/Rochdale areas.When you know him he is a sound lad really.Once shared a short train journey with him to Victoria
when City beat Brum to virtually go up (fat Bob Taylor goal) on a Friday night and walking through town with him was hard work,his legs are that long couldn't keep up with him and he was randomly talking to people as we passed them ! He has charisma and is a brave fan,he sat in the Stoke end at the 5-2 game on his own.
He typifies City of the 80s,a legend who everybody on the Kippax sort of knew

It's shameful to hear some of you so-called Blues spit in the face of City's history like this.

As someone pointed out, Daft Donald is undoubtedly a terrace legend on a national scale, not just a City one. Clubs like United go green with envy as his name is brought up by experts.

OK, you might not trust him to arrange you a mortgage or give you marriage guidance or something. I say, if that's what you need, go find a girl.

If the chips are down, and Millwall have got you backed up in an alley, it's Daft Donald you want stood behind you, pushing you at them and shouting "Come On!"

My initials are DD in salute of the man himself.

Know your history, Blues.

Once saw him get off a train at Leeds and basically went for their entire crew by himself, got the shit kicked out of him, but he kept coming back for more and more and more.

The police took pity on him in the end.

Also remember him trying to have a stepkid adopted because they came home with a United shirt on.
