It was a privilege to know Jimmy Purcell. We enjoyed time together through our mutual interest in playing ice-hockey for the Glasgow Dynamos from 1966 and onward. We were in the Dynamo team with others and we all bonded together.
Jimmy played defense and could always be relied on, on the ice to provide the necessary security we forwards had to have.
Condolences to Liz and Stuart and the Purcell family, you are in my thoughts.
Sincerely - Davie Sinclair
