Never in the history of the club has a title for an article been so apt. John Duncan, erstwhile cricketer and sometime politician. If you google him you come across a page that has a list of candidates for the Ayr Constituency in the 2007 Scottish Parliament Election, and describes JD as the "Invisible Man in this contest" !!   Now those of you who paraded around Bangour and Dresselrigg with JD will be very quick to point out that there is no way that you could describe JD as invisible on a cricket field (or anywhere else for that matter). Even if those people hard of sight couldn't see his growing bulk, they most definately would have heard him!!  A master of the slighlty less than subtle comment to opposition batsmen, bowlers, fielders, umpires etc etc . 

On the field he was combatative and gave his all in every way. He battered opposition bowlers all around the park, including a quite magnificent mauling of Inverurie in the Small Clubs Cup as JD made the first of his 3 club centuries. A talented all rounder, who not only bowled some nice turn and tweakers, but was equally adept behind the timbers with the gloves on.  First and foremost though he was a batsman ending his career as the 3rd highest run scorer in the clubs's history.

JD's political ambitions off the field took a toll on his appearences, firstly as right hand man for Robin Cook, then as right hand man for Jim Devine. Fortunately for JD he got away to stand as his own man before the expenses scandal of recent years (but there is growing evidence to suggest that JD did eat all the pies....). Clearly he took his role as the Invisible man seriously and failed to win the seat.  Since then JD has all but disappeared off the face of the earth, apart from the odd mention in random quango's. JD, come back. The Bar needs you too!
