Anyone who has any Dunky stories that are printable can add them to this thread. Can't promise to use them all but will do my best.

Hi Nanook, do you have Raymond Franchetti’s contact details? He has lots of stories! He and my Dad were great friends. If not, I can give you my email address. Thank you for all the lovely messages on here. It has brought the family so much comfort. My Dad loved the Rovers. Debra

Really sad news. He was a real Rovers legend. Dunky was the main man when I first started watching the Rovers - what a player he was. Imagine a central defender scoring 22 goals these days ! RIP.

He made a big impression with the supporters, always 100%, and chipped in the odd goal too. Best thing was that he was a really nice guy, always had time to speak to folk. Sorry, I don't have Ray's contact details, but I have asked Ronnie Boyd if he has a number, if he comes back to me I will let you know. You can PM me with your email address if you like. Again, sorry for your loss, Brian

Hi Jordan, I’m going to try to get my Mum along. I’ve PM’d you. (I think! New to this forum as you’ll see…). Thanks again.

We had another minutes applause for Dunky, along with some other people at Stranraer today as he also played for them.
