Royal honour for stalwart David

One of the highlights of Oban Charities Day at the weekend was an awards ceremony that saw The Oban Times’ David Buchanan receiving the British Empire Medal for his voluntary service to football from Lord Lieutenant of Argyll and Bute, Patrick Stewart. Street party organiser Graham MacQueen paid tribute to David as ‘a role model of stewardship’ who had been ‘the heart of Oban Saints Football Club since its inception in 1960’.
