One by one, the Double team players are leaving us and every time I know that one of them is under the weather (all into their 70s now), my heart grows heavy. I know that Dave's memory has been fading of late, which is so very sad.

He was a lion on the pitch and a lamb off the pitch and I have some wonderful personal memories of him.

I'm thinking of him and hope he comes through this okay.

He's a tough bastard, so hope he's back on his feet in no time. Get well soon, Mr MacKay

He's a double hard bastard, he's just lulling illness into a false sense of security before he knocks it over and chops it in half.

Injustice to call him a hard man, even though he was a tough ( yet fair ) player he oozed class on the pitch.

Hope he gets well soon.

I echo your thoughts, Cosmic, and envy your personal relationships with the players from our greatest team.

The incomparable Dave Mackay is my hero. I want him to live forever.
