Direct cremation arrangements finalised yesterday, no service or funeral, as per Tam’s wishes.
His ashes will be scattered at various places he requested, Ibrox hopefully too.
Tam left money to Erskine, McMillan nurses and Roxburgh House Hospice, I am sure he would be happy for anyone who wishes to remember him in some way, to make a small contribution to any of those worthy causes.
fillin up can’t write anymore..?

After that wee wobble, those are the arrangements at this moment in time. If there are any changes Jacquie will let us know.
Jacquie is knocked out by the esteem that Tam is held in by so many here, a great comfort to her ?

The reaction to Tam passing away has been quite overwhelming but also very heartwarming.Gers fans have surpassed themselves with their kind comments.I thought you might like to know a bit more about Tams photo.It was taken in The Old Toll Bar in PRW in September 2017,it was to be the last time that I would see Tam on a face to face basis.He phoned me to meet in the Grapes where we reminisced about our favourite subject...... childhood days  living in Plantation over a few beers and  we then headed on to the Viceroy He asked the young barmaid if he could pick up the £50 that he had left behind the bar after a Rangers game in 1978....the barmaid went along with it and said she would find it and post it out to him.....We then headed into the Old Toll Bar and that is where we had our last drinks together......    What you can't see in the photo  are the young Irish lass and her young Polish pal........Tam had some great banter with them and they really lapped it up.....he was always winding folk up ......even if he hadn't met them before.It really is a sore one to lose the big man....taken far too young. 

Before there was such a thing as agents big Tam used to do many of The Rangers players finances like pensions and investments, he counted many of them as good friends, whom he socialised with down through the years...he wasn’t averse to a bit name dropping about it either ?

Thought posters might like to put a face to the name, checked if it was okay to do so, it is.
Something most won’t know about ED is that he was at N’castle after leaving school, he was offered terms but his mother decided he was getting a real job in the bank.
He was a big lump of a lad even then, typical battering ram centre forward of that era and skill to go with it, who knows what could have been, hope you like the fotie from last year, keep rockin’ big chap ?

10 pages just goes to show that despite the occasional wee spat ED is well respected here, can't say any better than everyone of these posts proves we really are brothers and sisters in arms, blue to the core, a fitting tribute to a good man and a true blue !

Thanks gogzy for you and other admin reinstating ED when I told you how ill he was all those weeks ago. He really appreciated you doing so, it kept him mentally alert by being back here,, he loved every minute of it and his wind-ups.
He bore no malice to anyone and would phone me about his “bites”? must confess I joined in, the bluesome twosome he called us?
Not much more to say at this point other than the toxins are now attacking his brain and he is heavily sedated, Jacquie is with him at his bedside.
Also a mention for Host, who has been helping keep ED’s spirits up through this very sad time, hoping for a miracle...

And I didn't feel I needed to ask, so...

 
It'll be on the Top Row of the Peter McCloy Wall - installation before Christmas. 
 
 

Fruit cakes move in mysterious ways sweetheart, although I think Tam was more intrigued by the guitar player with no guitar ?

I couldn't quite believe you were biting to him but left you to it
