I want to lead tribute to Tommy Burns

Posted by Fernando Rodriguez on May 15, 2008 at 11:24pm in Assessment & Development

I got my Scottish coaching license in Largs, Scotland at the same time Tommy Burns got his. We became friends. The last time I saw him was when he gave me a ride from Largs to Glasgow's airport.
Tommy was a great soccer player, a great coach and above all
a great human being. I'm very sad he died yesterday. He will surely be
missed by all of us that knew him.

Heaven is a better place because he is there.
