    Was in work yesterday and my mate (rangers fan) ended up talking about tommy burns. Said he was disgusted by his own support Singin the things they do about tommy. See he played for a team when he was a lad and trained two days a week and most weeks tommy burns would come down once a week to watch them
    Train and help out. Said he was one of the nicest guys you'll meet.

    Related to meeting players in public - The year before he passed, Tommy was coming out of Celtic park. A crowd of kids ran over for autographs.Tommy said to wait as he was in a hurry but that he'd be back in 10 minutes and he drove off. True to his word, he was back in 10 mins and he got out with an armful of kit. The kids surrounded him again so Tommy turned to my wee fellow and handed him the armful of tops. My son was standing there proudly beaming while Tommy signed as many times as the crowd wanted, he then signed my son's autograph book and went back in to the training. A moment like that will never be forgotten, a great man as well well as a great footballer.
