mike rankine Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 The fact that fans of so many clubs have taken the time to post condolences here speaks volumes of the man. A man of integrity who spoke candidly without fear or favour. RIP 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paco Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 The work he did for the Rovers, as is often the case, was very underrated. A great servant to the club, every lower-league side in the country has someone like him without whom the club would be in a far worse place. Outspoken certainly but then I didn't mind that, even if I didn't always agree with his views he at least had the balls to justify decisions and explain his reasons. And then of course there was the Rangers thing which genuinely helped save Scottish football as we know it. I exchanged a few emails with him at the time and I always remember him saying "we'll play in the Juniors before we let the SFA put Rangers in our league". A man of real honour and I'm sure the club will honour him appropriately on Wednesday night against Cowdenbeath. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovers1992/1993 Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Just woke up after nightshift and heard the news. Extremely Sad news. Was a legend to everyone associated with Raith Rovers, and through Scottish Football as a whole. RIP Turnbull ☹ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie S Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 RIP Turnbull Hutton. He was an eloquent voice against the, sadly endemic, notion that Scottish football revolves around Glasgow's gruesome twosome. So many Scottish clubs were happy to live off the crumbs from the Old Firm's table, including, shamefully, my own (Queen of the South), whose vote in favour of fast tracking Sevco into the second top tier of Scottish football will go down in the annals of infamy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rrfsee Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 A big loss. Loved him for steadying the ship so effectively at our club. Adored him for his stance on the whole Rangers nonsense. RIP RIP Indeed, Could not agree more with the above statement. He did so much for us. He Will be sadly missed. Nice to see other club supporters on here. Thank you all 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaffenThinMint Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 A wonderful servant to both Raith Rovers and the Scottish game as a whole, whose integrity was not for sale or intimidation, and who left the club with every confidence of a secure future ahead. A true gent who led by example. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, precisely this. An eloquent diddy voice when one was badly needed. It's Raith Rovers good fortune that he was theirs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baillieinleeds Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 RIP Turnbull, you were the voice of the under dog. You weren't afraid of the establishment and helped the club you love. Massive kudos to other club supporters for their generous respect. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottydog Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Scottish football has lost another great man. Honest men with true integrity are rare commodities in life, even more so in football. Rest in peace T.H. and thank you, you will not be forgotten. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addie Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 (edited) Turnbull Hutton had more balls than half the football chairmen ever had. He will be remembered as the man who stuck up against the establishment and put the Scottish game first before anything else. R.I.P.
