It's so sad that today, of all days, football, and the whole of Scotland hear of the death of Tommy Burns, (51). He was a dedicated Christian, whose life reflected his deep faith and commitment to Our Lord.
I remember him as a player I respected, but worshipped him as he and Walter Smith started a revival of the Scottish National Team after years of pain under the Wee German.
His commitment to youth football at all levels could not be bettered, and Scottish Football is deeply mourning his passing.
Thank you, Tommy, for the memories.
My heart goes out to the Burns family at this time. I used to work at Celtic park and have met members of his family and you couldn't meet nicer people. Tommy was a true fanatic of the game and he will be missed beyond supporters of Celtic and Scotland.
