There's something appealing about a relatively unknown player signing up with the Dons. In the case of "Big Rory", only the most anoraky members of the Red Army are likely to have heard of him at all as the chances of anybody in the northeast following Rochdale are mighty slim (well, there's probably at least one, because of Gracie Fields if nothing else). He won't be unknown to the manager, of course, because he'll have been scouted by Craig Robertson and one or other of the management team before a signing move was made.
Now we have to wait out the summer to see Rory take the field for Aberdeen and to discover what he's all about. He came over well on his Red TV interview, and the fact that he believes he'll thrive playing in front of bigger crowds is encouraging. Hope he can, hope he'll be a man who will roll up the sleeves and get stuck in and hope that he settles into Pittodrie and makes a positive impact in the dressing room, along with the other new signings yet to come.
Four our part, if he keeps his part of the fitba contract, the Dons' fans will be happy to keep their and welcome him into the special place that is AFC.
