Originally signed as a centre half, he was the Dons top scorer from 63 thru 65, but he always missed a lot of sitters. One thing that stands out about Ernie though...He never gave less than 100%.Aiberdeen Loonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16539163.post-87978377645053087762015-09-27T11:44:35.644+01:002015-09-27T11:44:35.644+01:00Thank you.

Ernie Winchester is my father and played long before I was born, so to have this sort of remembered insight (which exactly matches how I imagine he'd react) is priceless. Thank you.

(Cool thought, no SPAM in heaven!)<br />We lost a great man in baseball, Stan The MAN, he was called. He was a great baseball player, but he was just the NICEST guy, that is what everyone remembers about him.Kay G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07228498846814735537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16539163.post-30418646067256158142013-05-11T09:41:20.798+01:002013-05-11T09:41:20.798+01:00Sorry..."goals" even...I hate making typ...Sorry..."goals" even...I hate making typos!!<br /><br />Maybe I was thinking about the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow! :)Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15835982875620956300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16539163.post-49880937127180875032013-05-10T22:16:14.190+01:002013-05-10T22:16:14.190+01:00Although I've never heard of Ernie Winchester....Although I've never heard of Ernie Winchester...may he rest in peace...and kick many golds over that rainbow in the sky!<br /><br />Have a good weekend, Adullamite.
