Met him once in a hotel in Glasgow - a very nice man indeed

Unlike Roy Keane, who was with him, and is a complete ****

I went to a couple of games when he was in charge of Celtic in mid 90s. He was the one who got the club going again after a string of disastrous managers and shite players in the late 80s/early 90s, when Rangers were on a roll of winning title after title.

Seemed a decent, down to earth chap. Very sad to hear that he passed away.

Why?

Not a pop Scarbs, I'm just curious as to why you'd choose to put him in that category.

He is one of those names that i have always been brought up with. My old man used to speak highly of him, and the times ive seen him play on classic games he always seemed a cracking player.

Wasn't he a poor man's Neil Lennon?

I didn't mean it as a sleight btw. Just the way I remember his game.

From my time north of the border, and being a follower of the green & white myself, this is a great shame. He always came across as a good bloke and played in some good Celtic sides in the 80s. RIP Tam.
