I wasn't one of his pals. In fact on quite a few occasions before and after the events of 2012 i strongly disagreed with him.
However, my favourite memory of him is not a footballing one. It comes from a meeting of the Rangers Fans Fighting Fund.
The RFFF had pretty much solidified its support behind the good guys - Dougie Park, Dave King, George Letham, George Taylor, et al. Sandy came to a meeting in Bobby Roddie's office. He hadn't been well, although he didn't tell us how unwell he was, and had been on a short holiday.
He looked a little drawn but with a light tan he looked great and on the road to recovery. It was only when he sat next to me that I realised how much his struggle had taken out of him - he was painfully thin around the arms and legs.
Sandy cut into a discussion on the side of the good guys - "you know it doesn't matter to me in any material way now - all I want us to do is what is good for our club".
It was the voice of a man who knew his race was run but he wanted what was right for the club he had come to love.
