I recall around about 1979 Celtic were playing a pre season friendly against the Jags at Kinsmills and there were the usual crowd of kids hunting autoraphs at a time when Old Firm stars appearing in the Highlands was a rare event.

Most of the Celtic team, even the fringe players who made up the bulk of the Celtic XI, signed one or two autographs in a perfuntory manner and then departed for the dressing room but Tommy and Pat Bonner both made a point of staying out on the pitch until they had signed for every child in the queue.

That's a good memory to have.  Nice one Tommy.

i was lucky enought to have met Tommy twice and he was a true gentleman he will be sadly missed by a lot of people

R.I.P Tommy
