Andrew, thanks for another terrific interview.

I’m 61 and shared Tommy’s journey at Celtic from his debut to his sad passing.

I got married at Celtic Park 29’years ago and I was fortunate to bump into Tommy

and he is in my Wedding Photos and Video.

I was heartbroken when he left Celtic as manager and much more so after his untimely death.

That was a beautiful interview with Jenna and you were very sensitive dealing with what happened with Tommy and sadly with Rosemary’s sad passing.

Tommy in many ways is still alive in my heart.

For me he captured the very essence of what is great about Celtic.

He had a pride being part of the club and we share that same pride.

He recognised that maybe more than anyone.

Please thank Jenna on our behalf if you can.

She is a bright, sensitive and intelligent Woman. Tommys legacy is huge, not just from a Celtic perspective, but he’s given society Children ( now adults) who continue to make a caring and thoughtful contribution to the world we live in. In the era of Trump, Farage, Robinson and others, that for me is hugely important.

Thanks again, you’ve interviewed so many great people on this Substack. I’ve genuinely enjoyed every one of them.

Andrew, such a lovely interview with Jenna. So brave of Jenna to share her memories of both her dad and mum’s passing. Great faith, family and football memories! Well done to you and Jenna.

Thanks so much. You are right, it was so brave of Jenna to be so open. It was so affecting but felt, to me, also spiritual and uplifting, even, in spite of the rawness in the pain being laid bare.

Thank you so, so much Gerry, a beautiful message and so true in all respects about Tommy, Jenna and the Burns family. First rate people that embody the very best as regards the bonds Celtic forges. I am genuinely humbled you have been enjoying the interviews. Every single interviewee has been a joy.
