Popular Post backup 4,724 Posted October 11, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 11, 2018 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 ? thehost, siddiqi_drinker, TheCutch and 105 others 108 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Sparkle 53,557 Posted October 11, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 11, 2018 In a way it makes it even sadder putting a face to the name. Im glad he got back here for his last wind-ups. I’m sure such a big character will be sadly missed by his family and friends minstral, TEFTONG, Bears r us and 7 others 10 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JukeBoxJohn 3,060 Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 I vaguely remember him sharing that story in the boozer (I was probably hammered) he was a class act and never a dull moment when he was out and about. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 ?

Popular Post backup 4,724 Posted October 12, 2018 Author Popular Post Share Posted October 12, 2018 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..? offminorthreat, cstamomusa, Perth_Campsie_Ger and 13 others 16 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post linnyplant 303 Posted October 12, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 12, 2018 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. siddiqi_drinker, Teamgers, Buggleskelly and 10 others 13 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BILLYBOY50 1,638 Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Tam has a very familiar look about him I have a feeling I have been in his company watching the gers abroad at some point in my life. I seem to remember him winding everyone up it definitely looks like the same guy anyway. Rest In peace tam to abscent friends. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
