Hugh Harra

I was saddened to see on the club website that Hugh Harra has died.
A player for Dumbarton from 1962-1967 (appearing 163 times) he was therefore a member of the earliest Sons side I can properly remember. His photo in the link shows that gold shirt with black pin stripe Sons used in the 1960s and I remember so well.
In my memory he was an uncompromising half-back (they weren’t called midfielders in those days) with a reputation that more than matched that description. A good asset to have in a side in those “it’s a man’s game” days.
Hugh Harra: 29/3/1936-6/2018. So it goes.

Allan Hara,
I’m sorry for your loss.
Your grandfather is certainly still held in esteem in the memories of Sons fans of my generation. It’s good to know he kept up the connection with the club.
Thanks for taking the time to comment.
