Dools was the perfect ambassador for our football club . 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lady-isobel-barnett 3,262 Report post Posted November 26 Perhaps someone else can confirm but I believe Kris has donated a sizable part of his testimonial proceeds to charity. Regardless his off field work behind the scenes, particularly visiting the young and elderly is well known. Factor in Kris is one of the most articulate footballers you'll come across and, yes, he was (still should be ) as jlsarmy says "the perfect ambassador for our football club". 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I bracket having a "perfect ambassador" for the Club in the same sort of territory as having effective communication with the support. Both filed away under Standard PR. The major difference being the former is something to cherish as you're lucky to have, whilst there's no luck required for the latter. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Auld Jag 1,301 Report post Posted November 26 Can only agree with everything that has been said. It was a great honour for me to present the Doolan 100 goals trophy to him. Which @BowenBoys asked me to do in memory of young Robert. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
