Former Manchester City star has Rolex stolen during street attack on holiday
manchestereveningnews.co.ukA former player and coach at Manchester City and Oldham Athletic has had a treasured Rolex watch stolen in a mugging on holiday.
Willie Donachie, 70, had the 'priceless' watch ripped from his wrist after being attacked by two men in Ibiza on Saturday. His family has now launched a desperate appeal in a bid to try and get it back.
Scotland-born full-back Willie made over 350 appearances for City between 1968 and 1980 after coming through their youth system.
He later went on to make over 150 appearances for Oldham after joining them in 1984, eventually becoming assistant manager alongside Joe Royle during the club's heyday in the early 1990s.
