    I’ve known Doug for almost 30 years, having seen him each year at the All England in Birmingham and a few other events. Doug never had a bad word to say and it was a pleasure to know him.

    I remember meeting Doug at my first ever tournament abroad in Basel, Switzerland where we shared a room. He was a regular visitor there and I think it was one of his favourite tournaments. In addition to the badminton. He was a lovely soft spoken gentleman. I too send my condolences to his widow and family. RIP Doug.

      I too remember Doug being my room mate at the Swiss Open in Basel {March 2015} and yes, I think this tournament was one of his favourites! I also echo yours and all the other comments made to him being a really nice person and was sorry to hear the sad news of his passing. RIP Doug!
