I'm thinking of putting together a collection of DB's idiocies over the years and calling it The Little Brown Book. Older readers may remember Mao Tse Tung's Little Red Book and Colonel Gaddafi's Little Green Book!

If you've any stories about DB that you think couild entertain/enrage folk then email them to me at the above address.

No sources will be identified and I'll take responsibility for the legal and printing side. I'll also try to get suitable material a wider audience in the meehja.

Anyone who has actual quotations from DB is especially welcome - the Arbroath "interview" is a fine example of that!

It could also be a wee fundraiser for the campaign.

As an example I believe there's the wonderful tale of how DB wanted to stop providing towels to the players on the grounds that they might spread HIV.

These are my own views and do not in any way represent anything the Trust or any other organised group of people in the universe might think.
They should most certainly not be taken as a criticism of Mr Brown or any of his relatives, EFFC Board members, friends (?), acquaintances, fellow SFA blazer wearers or Fife Council

was told by DB'My door is always open- phone me first'

Some classics at the meeting last night but wont post it here right now incase I get anyone into trouble!

Never other peoples what about your own, they could make a collection on their own ?. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You're right and it's at the publisher now.
For an advance copy just send me a blank cheque payable to Lord Clarke of Civilisation Ltd.

Brown has got a little blue book - that's where he writes down all the incidents during a game. Time, incident, perpretator....

... why???

He still thinks he is a referee. It makes sense. After all look at the picture of him in the stand at Arbroath brandishing the red card. He's obviously just sent someone off.

I remember at the East Fife v Hearts centenary match, Derrick stood out on the park and introduced the former players with a microphone. When he came to John McGarrity, he announced that as well as being an East Fife goalkeeper from the 1920's, John and his wife were Scotland's oldest married couple. Listening to the announcement as he waited in the tunnel area, John McGarrity turned to the guy standing next to him and said "Eh? I was a goalkeeper in the early 1950's and I haven't even had my Golden wedding yet. And he's got my wife's name wrong too!"
Turns out JDB thought he was introducing John Bernard, not John McGarrity. John Bernard wasn't even invited!

With regard to John McGarrity, his neighbour has told me that he is currently in hospital - I believe it's old age catching up with him.
