A lovely man, fondly remembered by all Aberdeen fans. Always good for a quote too.

RIP Ebbe.

From Richard Gordon’s ‘Tales From The Dugout’:



“Referee Kenny Clark, when he was fourth official as the Dons were being routed by Motherwell,



“Ebbe turns to me and says, ‘I want to make a substitution’. I remind him I need the numbers of the players going on and coming off so that I can input them into my electronic board. He returns with the sheet, but it’s only got the number of the player he wants to put on. I tell him I need to know who he wants subbed off, and he replies, ‘You pick. They’re all pish’.”

Sad to hear it.
