Sorry to hear this - 70 is way too young to be gone. Commiserations to all his family and friends.

Sad news. Another new member of the (unfortunately) growing Heavenly Magpies squad.

Met Gil at the Wests Team of the Sixties night and he still looked fit enough to play.

Another sad loss.

He was very fit for his age - so it must be a bit of a shock to his family!!

RIP!

Just for the record Adam MacDougall is not the oldest of the brothers. He has an older brother Jason MacDougall whom you never hear of due to family differences. It then goes in the order of Jason, Adam, Ben, Scott and Luke.

That's sad, I remember him as a Magpies Stalwart

Might have been nice to have spelt his name correctly.
