Tommy Muir RIP : Funeral details P15

[thismeansfour]

My facebook is flooded with friends and family and tributes towards this bloke. I am embarrassed to say I don't think I had heard of him, but it sounds like my loss from all the things I am reading. RIP blue.

Just heard the devastating news of Tommy Muirs passing. A bigger blue you will not meet.

Met him at 17 when he ran the kenny in cheadle hulme , played for the footy team there with him and then me and my pals followed him to the george and dragon (following a landlord from pub to pub seemed a thing back then).

The george was THE city pub back then. We all played for the football team and was our local for years , until tommy left and we stopped going in.

Many an away game with tommy. Head of the cheadle blues

A hard man, a fair man, a loyal man, ex soldier, huge blue, RIP Tommy

Tommy was a legend. Certainly one of our club's greatest supporters who followed City everywhere. He was hugely respected and this is a very sad day. RIP

I didn't know him well, but knew of him and all he did for fans. I worked for many years with his brother, John, another top Blue. R.I.P. both.

I have never heard of him either but I will be thinking of him Saturday he obviously meant a lot to a lot of you on here.

RIP Tommy

I've never knowingly spoken to him but I probably have over the years, I certainly know the face.

It's always sad when a blue heads to the kippax in the sky and Tommy sound like a proper big blue.

RIP fella.

RIP Tommy, can only echo the sentiments of others on here that knew you a lot better than I did. Clearly remember coming back on the coach to the George after the infamous 5-2 at Stoke & celebrating Arsenal pipping United to the title by a point. Really genuine & caring bloke & a bigger blue you'll struggle to meet. Condolences to the family

This thread should be called RIP The famous Tommy Muir, because I'd known of him 25 years before I actually met the great man. A fantastic and dedicated blue with a face full of mischief. Just wish I'd got to know him better. RIP Tommy. Condolences and love to his family n close friends X

I've known Tommy for years because of the OSC, great fella and was always laughing and would do anything for a fellow blue. RIP Tommy, :(

Very sad news. I'd known Tommy since the late 80s, he seemed to appreciate me as an out of town Blue, used to see him every match ,esp away from home where he'd just pop up out of nowhere ,always with that glint in his eye and always a warm handshake, smile, and a joke.

First time I met him our supporters branch called in The George at Cheadle....I'd never seen anything like it, wall to wall tvs showing City matches of old, we weren't very good at the time, and things were bleak to say the least. But ..walking into Tommys pub you'd think we'd just won the league , the buzz,the lift I got ,walking in there , made you proud to be a Blue ,I'll never forget that moment, and there was Tommy looking proud as punch.His Blue Pub.

What a character. I've shed a few tears this morning .
Will be sorely missed. I don't think I ever saw Tommy without a smile on his face .That smile will be missed.

Knew Tommy well through the OSC from the early 80's.
Something he did that hasn't been mentioned is every year on Billy Meredith's birthday, Tommy would go to his grave at Southern Cemetery and do the tidy up of the area surrounding the grave.
RIP Tommy

At last, a fitting tribute to the first football superstar

MORE than a century ago, North Wales miner Billy Meredith left the pits to become football's first superstar - playing for both Manchester United and City.

RIP Tommy first came across him when I got run over at Aston Villa he made the effort to track me down and said he saw it all and to get hold of him should I need any kind of witness statement top man

Very sad news.Got introduced to Tommy in the 80’s. Didn’t know him very well but done a few trips over the years with the Cheadle branch and made many good friends because of it and the people I met.I was made to feel welcome as a blue born 30 miles North of Maine road living in the sticks as they all used to say to me.RIP Blue.

Though i believe he relented at a later date
