Jackson was one of two doctors working at the club between 1968 and 1984.

Recalling Dr Jackson Blues legend Kevin Beattie told TWTD: "We used to call him Jabber Jackson because he used to get the needles out and give us the injections.

"He’d always come in on a Monday and also travel with us to games. He was a lovely man, you wouldn’t know anyone better, he was smashing. Pass on my condolences to his family.”
