Nicely done mate, Jim sounds like the best friend ever.I got to news of Jims passing late last night.
We grew up together up the Roystonhill went to CityPublic then into Allan Glens when the school went comprehensive so been about each other a long time.
Throughout that time we followed Rangers through thick & thin.
Number 4 bus was our bus of choice & away games we were lucky we could get on the Townhead bus leaving from Millburn street.
We all joined the Orange No3 District & went full tilt into it and the memories and the highs & lows will stay with me till my last breath.
If he was your friend you had a guy who had your back and his loyalty to you was without question.
His love of Rangers never got in the way of anything as you grow older and family life and work etc make mates drift apart he was only a phone call away if you needed any help for anything.
I seen him a week past Friday in the hospital & we spent a few hours chewing the fat & again those few hours will be priceless to me.
He even got me to put him in his chair and take him out for a ciggy I swear we couldn't stop laughing as I always moaned about him smoking.
Really it hits home for me when you lose a mate but I feel for young James & Laura his children who were devoted to their Dad,brothers Derek & Alan & of course his grandkids.
Well mate its been a blast as they say and I know a hard few days are ahead of us but I know one thing you will be in Blue Nose Heaven right now.
Sleep tight dear friend.
Yes mate. Was also very active with the Blue Order.Jim Trotter from the Internet Loyal?
When Jim gave you a lift, you certainly knew you had been in his car.Jim was great fun - a member of FF, the Blue Order, an admin on another site and background staff on The Gers TV.
He lived up Royston Road and sadly lost his good lady some time ago.
He was strong in his beliefs and an absolute riot as company - you never left his side without a smile on your face.
Exactly this.Was never scared yo show his colours in the GARNGAD
I hope we deliver 56 this season for Jim and everyone we have lost in recent times.I got to news of Jims passing late last night.

good old days mate, where I met Jim aswellRIP Jim, back when I was on gersforum he sorted me out with a fair few tickets, usually spares for the Inverness games.
Never had the pleasure of being driven by Jim but a couple of friends have, town centre to Larkhall in about 20 minutes and every traffic light ignored, I just took the bus home.Anybody that new him will tell you what a legend of man he was,never a dull moment with Jim like somebody said earlier a car ride with Jim was very memorable,
Rangers going tits up was a massive negative in Jim’s life he almost lost is sense of purpose and his personal health nose dived,he spent most of his spare time organising and helping people with Rangers related stuff ,I only wish he could have got back to Ibrox one more time
Good bye good friend say hello to Don from me and god help heaven with you two reunited
