I recall seeing a black and white photo of Tommy Gemmell chasing an East German (?) up the park at Hampden and inflicting a Bishop Brennan style kick up the arse in retaliation.
Scotland legend for that alone
Edit to add - a great player at a time when there was a fair amount of competition for that accolade in Scotland

Diye no think Tommy looked a bit like Danny Kaye. .

Aye in a certain light [emoji3]
Hopefully not in the hastily made banners the green brigade have for him tomorrow

Met him at a kids football tournament and ended up going for a couple of pints with him in the Cart Bar in Corkerhill. He was a gent and when some twat in a Rangers Top tried to introduce some old firm bigotry into the conversation, Tommy was as cool as a cucumber and told the guy that he could never play for Rangers because their shirts brought him out in a rash. He could put his drink away as well. Good guy. Thoroughly enjoyed his company and he stood his round.   RIP Tommy.
