BBC reporting the former Kwik Fit owner passed away last night, aged 84.

His 28 years share in Hibs is also well recorded and players are wearing black armbands today in memorial.

Didn’t know this :
“Sir Tom`s philanthropic work saw him awarded the Carnegie Medal and he became a Knight Commander with Star of the Order of St. Gregory the Great, an honour bestowed by the Pope, in 1997.”

He also owned Inchkeith, the largest island in the Firth of Forth.

Helped out a snow border pal of mine by funding him to get to the winter Olympics a while back.

No fuss, done on the downlow, did not want it publicised.

He was a good guy.

RIP.
