Davie Rutherford RIP

[offshorehibby]

The sad news that my best mate and best man Davie Rutherford passed away peacefully at home this afternoon. The spooky thing was was he waited till bang on 3 O'clock.

Davie was a lifelong Hibby with a ticket in the East. A lot of the 60 something Hibbys will know Davie from the 80’s and travelling on the Southern bus and some good laughs with inter branch football.

Davie had a very short battle with cancer and will be sadly missed by me and all that knew him.

[Lancs Harp]

sorry for your and his family lost. Another spirit in the sky he'll be raising a glass with George tonight.

RIP fellow Hibby

[truehibernian]

Really sorry to hear that, thoughts to his family and of course yourself mate.

RIP big davie. We had a lot of fun and a lot of laughs over the years. Taken far too soon.

Would he be big Davie who was also a big Speedway fan during the Powderhall days in 80's?

If so, he went on a memorable Speedway tour in my car to the World Final in Gothenburg Sweden, via Denmark, Sweden, Germany, France, & Belgium?

He managed to sniff out a couple of footy matches at Anderlecht & Aachen for us too.

He also ran our Speedway darts team who played their home matches at the Clan Tavern in Albert Street.

Great company whom we all shared many laughs with.

I first met Davie on that same bus and he was a gentleman and epitomised the phrase 'gentle giant' I'm truly gutted to hear this. He sat a few rows down from us in the east and I always shouted to him when I went down the stairs.
I used to see him a lot back in the 90s when I think he was working as a carer, my memory is hazy on that one but he came to my work a few times with someone and we'd chat for a couple of minutes and have a few laughs,definitely one of life's good guys.

I'll probably know your face mate, I posted a video of him and the guys on here when the cameras rolled up to ER to capture Davy, Richie and co strut their stuff for the Southern branch. I'll no doubt see Richie on Tuesday night, it'll be my first game for a while.

[WestCoastHibby]

Hibernian, Speedway and darts??
I wish I’d met the man ; RIP

I was so sorry to hear this. Sending love to his family 💚

Your right he truly was a gentle giant. I am in that same video and i'm sure i'm with Richie as we're coming into ER, big ginger heeed. I think we've chatted on here before about that.

You can't be far from me in the East, I'm 5 rows behind Davie in L.

Gutted. Very good pals with one of his sons. Sending my thoughts and prayers to all the family 💚

Didn’t recognise the name, but Davies wife has posted photos on Twitter and I knew him right away. A well Kent face at ER and I remember him from many away games.

RIP Davie.

Big Dave was one of the nicest guys you could have had the pleasure to meet. He was a helpful gentle giant and will be sorely missed by all who knew him. R.I.P.

I had no idea he was ill G. I had a huge amount of time for the big fellah through all the Hibs Club years and even beyond playing darts for Cropleys. You’ll miss him enormously and I’m so sad at hearing this. RIP big Spike.

Knew your dad for nearly 40 years. Had a few eventful holidays with him including hibs at anderlecht and magdeburg. A nicer man you'll never meet. Condolences to yourself and the rest of the family.

A few words at Easter Road and a couple of pints in the Club will be a perfect way to say goodbye to the big fellah.
Thanks for posting G and I hope the funeral also goes as well as it can.
