Kilmarnock is mourning the loss of Jim Fleeting, the former manager who passed away at the age of 70 after a long battle with dementia. Fleeting was a hugely influential figure in Kilmarnock's modern history, having led the club out of the third tier in 1990. Appointed on November 25, 1988, he took on the challenge of reviving a club struggling with relegation. His passion for Kilmarnock was evident, as he had grown up supporting the team despite spending most of his playing career with Ayr United. Fleeting's determination to elevate the club was clear when he stated, 'Killie are a sleeping giant and I intend to wake them from their slumbers.' His legacy at Rugby Park remains significant, and he is remembered fondly by fans and players alike.
