Very sad. I think he was at the recent Scottish Internationals. The first of a few I fear.

Sad indeed, met him when the Tigers played Edinburgh Gunners at the Greenyards, a genuine nice man, condolences to all close to him.

So did I TB and how welcoming he was at Greenyards then next day out on the pitches training the Juniors and then coming back for the Mini's. So pleased he saw Sir Kevin complete his Ultra7 run.tigerburnie wrote: ↑Sat Nov 26, 2022 5:51 pm Sad indeed, met him when the Tigers played Edinburgh Gunners at the Greenyards, a genuine nice man, condolences to all close to him.
This reminds us how cruel MND is and the need to keep the monies coming in £2.077 million to date..

I've bought some rather fetching boxer shorts from his charity website to remind me his great stature both in the game and as a fund raiser.
