As I mentioned I didn't know the gentleman personally but his sudden passing makes you realise just how precious life truly is. Rest easy fellow Rangers man your suffering is at an end and your loved ones and close friends will take great comfort from the most genuine tributes and heartfelt comments made by so many on these pages.

Proper old school characters are a bit thin on the ground now, it seems ED going by all that knew him was certainly one.

safe travels big man, you'll be missed.

Rest in peace Tam,our loss?

It’s a terrible way to go and has a heavy impact on family and friends too. His recent posts and the comments here show that he faced up to the situation and decided when to go on his own terms. I can only hope I would be so brave. Condolences and best wishes to those that knew him and helped him through his pain.

RIP.

Sad news RIP.

Sincere thoughts with his family and friends. By the sounds of things a lot of the lads from here who knew him tried to help keep his spirits up during the last few weeks and I'm sure you all will have helped him more than you'll ever know.

RIP ED

Sad news 

cancer is a cunt 

[Redwhiteandblue 3,330]

Genuinely gutted to read this. I'm so glad he started posting again recently as he was well missed. I've only read the OP, so I hope his condition has gotten better but but having a family member recently go into hospital with cancer and not come back out, I know how quickly things can deteriorate. Especially at his age. I'm hoping to read good news after I hit the post button and read the comments on the last page. 

[Redwhiteandblue 3,330]

RIP bigman. GBNF

To be fair, my mates kid at 4yr old had a rare form of cancer that only 3 people in Britain had had before him. The tumour behind his eye was so big that it grew out his nose right down below his lips. Know how it's been said dogs can smell cancer? When you walked into his hospital room the smell was horrendous, it was difficult just to stand in that room because of the smell and how he looked. Every single doctor I spoke to and explained his cancer to said he would die. And if you seen him, you would agree very quickly with those comments. But they sent him to Florida for some new treatment that had never been done before and they removed most of the tumour. He is now 11yrs old and is almost 100% healthy. There's still a bit of the tumor there, but it's dormant. He's still considered to be in remission and goes for a CAT scan every 6 months, but for the last 7yr there has been no growth and he lives a normal life. So despite all the shit stories we all know about cancer, there is miracles being done by doctors regularly which couldn't be done without that funding. Just a story to hopefully lift some people. Cancer isn't always a death sentence.

Told @Moody Blue Legend he was going to.wind me up about being a "kingaling" gave me it tight for ten mins then bought me 2 buds in the lion

I think he sometimes started out noising folk up then forgot he was at the wind up.and got entrenched in it

he's the type of guy you need to meet to appreciate. He was hard work on here at times, even some of those who knew him better than me said the same but meet the guy and the nonsense went out the window and all he spoke about was Rangers. Well that and songs pop stars had wrote about him lol.

 

All I can say is Carly Simon will go to bed tonight with the memories of the big man turning over in her bed!!

Rest easy mate.
