| A sad day for Celtic people all over the world. Too, too young to be taken, thoughts are with his family. |

are you listening to talksport this morning? Big Alan Brazil is almost in tears when talking about Tommy.
Sad Sad day, and any benefits / testimonials the club do for him and his family are incredibly well deserved |

Yeah the funeral will probably be at the local Chapel near my folks home as he went there nearly every day. I hope those dirty barstewards at the SFA get told to GTF after the way they treated the guy 
I hope the team that are playing the tribute match get to be there along with Jansen as well. |

A sad sad day indeed.
Having met the man on numerous occasions I can say not only was he Celtic to the core but a true gentleman who would give anyone the time of day,
Late February he spoke to us about getting excited at coming over to the convention as our surprise guest.
2 weeks later he called to say he could not come as his cancer had got worse.
We joked with him saying if you are going to get melanoma's Tommy this is the place for treatment and then he told us how bad it was and asked us to keep it secret as he had not fully come to terms with what was happening and did not want anything leaked to the press.
Some of the players coming stated that they may have to cut short the trp if anything happened to Tommy.
I am totally devestated.
May you rest in peace Tommy and my prayers will go to Rosemary and your children
YNWA.
