I have a few friends who are Celtic fans so i know how much of an effect this guy had. I know he isn''t related to Norwich but to pass away at 51 is a real tradegy

Thought he was older than that - a Celtic supporting mate of mine says he was a fine man and an excellent ambassador for the club.

i was deeply saddened by this news... he seemed a good man and i know his family must have gone through hell... i, like tommy did, have skin cancer (in remission now thankfully) ... i just hope his death brings to peoples attention how important it is to look after yourself... RIP Tommy.
