Tony Fitzpatrick revealed it was a “privilege” to spend time with Frank McGarvey before his sad passing at the age of 66.
And he admits he was devastated the St Mirren Hall of Famer didn’t get the opportunity to wave goodbye to the club’s supporters before his death.
The pair had been great Buddies ever since McGarvey joined the Paisley club back in December 1974 after being spotted by legendary former boss Sir Alex Ferguson.
