A sad day today with the passing of big Tam Gemmell. A true giant of Scottish and indeed European football. I met Tam on a couple of occasions at player functions over the years and it was always a bigger thrill for me to share a bit of time with the players from his era, Lennox, Auld, Craig etc. They all had a story or two to tell, and always had time to talk to the fans when some of the current players at the time were a wee bit more reserved let us say. I can always remember having a photo with Tommy and saying to him "thanks Tommy, it's a pleasure to meet you " and him replying " no big man, it's a pleasure to meet you". Always stuck with me that. A great man and will be fondly remembered. God bless him.

Met a lot of the lion's through the years and the thing that struck me was how modest they all were/ are it was always more about how great the other players were rather than how good they were, remember seeing a few of them at the airport and asking for a photo with Bertie as he was my dads favourite, he told me no problem but you should be asking Wallace and gemmell as they were better players than me, could you imagine some of todays players showing that sort of humility.

Couldn't agree more as I was lucky enough to meet most of them on many occasions - as a boy in the 60's - right through to recent times and the love of Celtic - and the support was always evident and appreciated by all.
