When Tommy Burns was coming towards the end of his life, Scott Brown’s family were going through their own heartbreak.
Tommy was battling skin cancer.
Brown’s sister Fiona was also dying of cancer.
She was only 23.
At Celtic, everyone knew how ill Tommy was.
Gordon Strachan went to see him at 4pm one day, and by 3am the next morning, Tommy had sadly passed away.
A few hours later, the Celtic players were brought together.
Strachan spoke to them.
Then Scott Brown came over to him.
“Can I speak to you?”
Strachan knew what Brown’s family were going through, so he asked him what was wrong.
Brown asked him when Tommy had died.
“About three in the morning.”
“Why?”
That was when Brown told him what had happened.
“Well, my sister got flowers at 10 this morning.”
They had arrived after Tommy had died.
And the note was from him.
“Good luck, keep your chin up.”
From Tommy Burns.
Tommy was hours from the end of his own life, and he was still thinking about Scott Brown’s sister.
Still sending flowers.
Still trying to lift someone else.
That was why Celtic people loved him the way they did.
Not just because he played for the club.
Not just because he managed it.
Because even at the very end, he was still Tommy Burns.
