    A true Celtic legend and one of the finest men to have walked through the doors at CP.

    How quickly did the year pass?

    It's been a year since we lost you to Heaven FC, Tommy. Already a full year. It's passed almost without us realising it.

    Your loss trigged an outpouring of grief never before seen in Scottish football. Never before had one man from the slums of Glasgow's East End touched so many people, never before has one been mourned for like yourself.

    In days when players alongside you were unworthy of even playing the same sport, your committment and determination to do your bit for the Cause never wavered. You were our leader, the one we could look towards for that bit of magic, that genius spark that only the blessed few are born with.

    And for all your brilliance, you were so human. So normal. So approachable, so naturally one of the plebs. Never a bad word about anyone, time for everyone, no matter who they where or what.

    You weren't the fan who got lucky, Tommy - WE were the lucky ones.

    Your loss was such a hard one, Tommy. You were too young, you were the last person who should have headed to the clouds. It brought us all right back down to earth, right after the events of the UEFA Cup Final in Manchester, and instead of gloating and bitterness there was unity, the cold dawning of perspective on the mad world of Scottish football and beyond.

    And we went to Tannadice and we delivered a historic Championship for you, like you once famously did for us back in the good old days.

    And one year on, as we prepare to honour you for eternity at the stadium you lived around, the place you loved and where we loved you, we still miss you Tommy, for you, for the People and the Cause you preached of.

    And in the years to come, when old men in pubs talk with nostalgia about their inspiration Tommy Burns, your name will still live on over the slopes of Celtic Park. Like you said, we'll always be there, and we know you'll always be there with us.

    Your contribution to the youth of Celtic Football Club will live on for years to come, generations of young Celts will know the name of Tam Burns, and with a bit of good fortune we might even find one who steps into your shoes.

    We'll always be proud of you, Tommy, and we'll make you proud of us [​IMG]

    Cant believe its already a year since you were taken from us you were a true Celtic legend, player, coach, and manager. You had a dream and you lived that dream. You were a big fan that was lucky enough to play for the hoops and what can i say? We all miss you Tommy Bhoy!! xxxxxx YNWA xxxxxx<!-- / message --><!-- sig -->
