The Bewilderedbeast Posted April 11, 2020 Posted April 11, 2020 Just had it confirmed, by someone working on the ward, sadly Gerry McHugh has succumbed to Covid aged 58. My apologies for my previous inaccurate post late last week.
axeman Posted April 11, 2020 Posted April 11, 2020 Rest in Peace Gerry I'd love to have you both for dinner
AyrshireTon Posted April 11, 2020 Posted April 11, 2020 Sad to hear. RIP. McGhee needs some support, there's no-one backing him up. Hayes playing it forward, Bell being forced to do it all alone, now forward from Marr, here's Ritchie, still Andy Ritchie, look at the control... That is a marvellous goal from Andy Ritchie. Twenty minutes on the clock and Morton's supporters come alive. A goal which epitomises the control, the arrogance, the cheek of Andy Ritchie.
Malt Posted April 11, 2020 Posted April 11, 2020 A lovely guy who was taken too early. Always found him to be very jovial and with a smile on his face...until Morton ruined his weekend! Fantastic guy and thoughts with the family. RIP Gerry.
TONgerine Posted April 11, 2020 Posted April 11, 2020 A Gentleman who travelled everywhere watching Ton in our younger days . Sad to here about his passing especially as he was my son,s teacher . Loved his reference for Big Dougie Mon Eh Pie Man Rest In Peace Gerry .
Tubes Posted April 11, 2020 Posted April 11, 2020 RIP Gerry. Great guy and brilliant teacher. Lots of great stories will be doing the rounds tonight with loads of folk reminiscing about some of his patter. His classroom was like a shrine to Morton with even a few foil pie wrappers making it up onto his wall! Very sad, taken well before his time.
pink_panther Posted April 12, 2020 Posted April 12, 2020 '"Iv'e only 2 words to say. Feck Off McGraw" Maths teacher?
Madton Posted April 12, 2020 Posted April 12, 2020 Never knew the man nor his name but as soon as I seen his picture I knew I'd seen him at many Morton games over the years. Not often you see so much praise for a teacher from ex pupils on twitter which must say a lot about the type of man he was. RIP
AyrshireTon Posted April 13, 2020 Posted April 13, 2020 '"Iv'e only 2 words to say. Feck Off McGraw" Maths teacher? It was “You’re sacked McGrawâ€. He shouted it as advice to John Wilson During a defeat at Boghead. Did he start going to watch Man Utd? Seeing a lot of posts about #redforgerry on twitter.

The Bewilderedbeast Posted April 13, 2020 Author Posted April 13, 2020 Yeah, he gave up on Cappielow and started going to Old Trafford.
AyrshireTon Posted April 13, 2020 Posted April 13, 2020 Yeah, he gave up on Cappielow and started going to Old Trafford. Cheers. I worked beside him the season we won the 2nd division with the Finns. Morton daft and everything in the department was about the Ton. McGhee needs some support, there's no-one backing him up.

pink_panther Posted April 13, 2020 Posted April 13, 2020 I think he had a season ticket for Old Trafford
HamCam Posted April 13, 2020 Posted April 13, 2020 Yeah, he gave up on Cappielow and started going to Old Trafford. How do you give up on 'your' team to then support another? As a club, Morton has tested the fan's loyalty over the years but I don't get how you give up?

HamCam Posted April 13, 2020 Posted April 13, 2020 Morton leaves you feeling scunnered at times. I agree but enough to chuck it? And for Man Utd?
AyrshireTon Posted April 13, 2020 Posted April 13, 2020 I agree but enough to chuck it? And for Man Utd? There were a few before him who stopped going to Cappielow and started going to Old Trafford. Until I found out today that Gerry had too I just presumed he was staying away until the Raes had gone. He stood near where we stand at Scapa - still can't believe he's no longer with us.

I spoke to him YEARS ago and he’d become disappointed at the goings on a time Cappielow
