Mentorred Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 I was just watching him a few weeks ago on tv here when Armenia played Portugal. R.I.P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuartmonroe Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 BBC reporting of his death today. Never will go down as one of the Aberdeen great managers, but coming in straight after Fergie was going to be tricky. RIP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Killieboy Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 god rest you big man red army remembers you !!!!!!! As do supporters of other teams like my own Killie. Ian Porterfield was an absolute gentleman...a lovely guy who will be sadly missed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millers Tache Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Did he not survive a plane crash where most of his international team were killed? Then to be got by cancer - what an absolute bastard that is. R.I.P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigAl Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 As has been said Porterfield had an impossible task taking over from Fergie, and co-incidentally as the Murray/Penis revolution at Greyskull changed Scottish football forever. Don't actually think on reflection he did that badly during his time at Pittodrie, and in all reality at a different time would probably have been a winner here. May he rest in peace.....

BobbyBiscuit Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 He signed Charlie Nic for us, something I'll be eternally grateful for as some of my favourite Dons memories came from watching Champagne Charlie. R.I.P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyrshireDon Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Can't say I'll have overly fond memories of his time as our manager (though as has been pointed out any manager would've struggled & many more have since to fill Fergie's shoes), but still noone deserves to go that way. RIP Mr Porterfield. Have to agree with BobbyBiscuit though- what a signing Charlie Nicholas was for us, so for that alone I'm grateful to him.
