Tommy Burns loses cancer fight
Celtic legend Tommy Burns has died at the age of 51 after losing his long-running battle against cancer.
It's hard to put into words how bad I feel on hearing this news. The guy was a legend on and off the pitch.
My thoughts go to his family at this extremely difficult time.

Years Club App (Goals)
1975–1989 Celtic 352 (52)
1989–1994 Kilmarnock 151 (16)
Total 503 (68)
Great record for a midfielder, what makes it even more great was the fact his career started off as a midfielder.
