    A generation slowly passing, difficult to see.

    How many other full backs have scored a goal in 2 European Cup Finals for the same side though? His legacy will be upheld in the most esteemed company. A legend.

    Gutted.

    He was my true hero when I was a kid, a real world class player who played for my club. The night the Lions did the business me and my brother were out in the back reliving the memory and I was Tommy Gemmell smashing that ball in.

    A few years back, I was watching that crappy 'They think it's all over' programme and decided to write in on one of their forums suggesting they get big Tam - a legend who scored two screamers in the European Cup Final on as one of their guests rather than the insignificant ones they seemed to be using.

    To my astonishment, there he was a couple of weeks later. I'm taking the credit for it anyway.

    RIP big man. Gone but will never be forgotten.

    Saddened to read of his passing. Condolences to his family.
