David 'Bomber' Anderson
Another of the original squad of DAFC, Davy Bomber Anderson, not to be confused with Davy 'Geronimo' Anderson, has sadly passed away. Davy played at Centre Half in the DAFC team when we won our first cup against Eddlewood in 1966. Sincere condolences
to all his family .

Katharine Mathieson
It was with great sadness that we received the news of the sudden and untimely death of Kath. Only a few months ago she, along with her husband Sean, arranged for a group of ex DAFC players to attend a dinner in Ellon, at which her dad Miller was to be honoured for his long service to Ellon Utd FC. Her Remembrance service which was held in Ellon parish church, was delivered with great dignity by her husband and the Mathieson family. A very large turnout was a credit to the memory of a kind, caring and considerate lady held in much esteem by all who knew her. Rest in Peace Kath, we will never forget you

Hi Bobby,Miller was the under factor at the Douglas&Angus estate where I worked for over 20 years.I don’t think the work was very demanding as he spent a lot of time on the football finances.He is one of the best never seen him angry always a smile for everyone. I live in Penicuik now,came to work with Jimmy Shepherd in1982.Great to here from old teammates,keep well

Hi Soapy, not many of us left. Don't know if you heard but I had a double heart bypass a couple of years ago, I managed to touch base with Stuart Hope which was pretty good. Take care & stay safe. Regards to Jimmy.

Miller Mathieson
I've lived in Ellon, Aberdeenshire for 25 years and the local football team, Ellon United, have had the support of Miller Mathieson as a club official and fund-raiser for many years now.
The club have recently installed a pitch-side committee/hospitality suite and they are naming it after Miller.
They have approached me as a past colleague with knowledge of Miller's contribution to football before his own move to Ellon to provide them with info about the great man's history in Douglas. I have been a frequent reader and admirer of the Kenny Sludden website, and would appeal to anyone associated with the Douglas Club to SEND ME STORIES AND OR ACCOUNTS YOU HAVE OF MILLER MATHIESON IN THOSE DAYS WHEN HE WAS THE AMATEURS' SECRETARY!

Hi Bobby, There is a caricature of Miller, Shulf and John on the website which typifies the close relationship these guys had. Feel free to use any material you want to. I can send it separately if you want to use that. Miller was down here last week and Tam Lennox, Johnny Hamilton, John Jackson, and I spent some quality time with him and Alison, their daughter, and son in law. Sheena, Shulfs wife and her family also met up with them. As you can imagine there was much reminiscing and laughs.
Ill ask around re anecdotes etc.
Cheers Kenny
Kenny

Thanks, Kenny. I had a meeting with an Ellon United official today and I introduced him to your website. He was delighted to have access to such material. The official opening ceremony for the new facility is to be next Saturday 11 September. If you fancy coming up, I'll put you up for the weekend!
It's good to hear that so many of you guys are still around and active. Give my best wishes to Tam, John, Johnny & co. Cheers, Bobby
