Toby Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 I don’t think I ever met him, but to be fair, he wasn’t the first and won’t be the last to chuck it. At least he went quietly instead of bragging about how he was away to watch the Wanderers playing rugby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HamCam Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Gerry was a good friend of my father in law and of my wife’s uncle. I spoke to him YEARS ago and he’d become disappointed at the goings on a time Cappielow Not having a go at Gerry just genuinely perplexed at the ability of some people to be able to turn off their support for a club and flit to another. If I fell out of love with Morton (and I have done a few times over the years) I cannot see myself transferring my loyalty to another club - to many memories to put to one side.

Like you, I couldn't change to support another club. I don't even have "a second team" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it really a big deal considering he has sadly passed away. Let it go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiGi Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Not having a go at Gerry just genuinely perplexed at the ability of some people to be able to turn off their support for a club and flit to another. If I fell out of love with Morton (and I have done a few times over the years) I cannot see myself transferring my loyalty to another club - to many memories to put to one side. He was always a Man Utd fan as well as Morton so I don't think he chucked anything other than deciding to go to Old Trafford rather than Cappielow. Really sad to hear he's passed, Mr McHugh was a fantastic teacher and just all round good guy worth evert kind word spoken about him. Sadly too young as well, he will be missed by many, many people. Peter Weatherson is the greatest player since Ritchie, and should be assigned 'chairman for life' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capitanus Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 I see that Inverclyde Council have started a social media campaign #RedforGerry to honour Mr. McHugh as they were the colours of his beloved Man United. *insert signature here* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bewilderedbeast Posted April 14, 2020 Author Share Posted April 14, 2020 I see there's a tribute, Morton tops and scarves etc, on the gates of NDHS. Very fitting, and a nice change to see such a thing for a genuinely nice guy rather than some scumbag who caused nothing but trouble for others. Just wish it didn't have to be there at all.

Cet Homme Charmant Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Didn't know the guy but as we're the same age I'm sure our paths must have crossed many times back in the day at Cappielow and away from home. Sounds like he was very popular, and will be remembered with genuine affection from those he taught and who knew him. RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inverclyde Council have started a social media campaign #RedforGerry to honour Mr. McHugh as they were the colours of his beloved Man United. I am perfectly aware of that. I queried Capitanus bringing it up as a sensed a bit of a slight. Capitanus replied and I am more than happy with his reasoning. Boredom and overthinking on my part. Apologies Capitanus. 20.1.09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a soft spot for a couple of other teams too. *insert signature here* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
