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

Fella at work was a good friend of his and told me about him today. Said same as you that there was no bigger blue.

From the post with his sidekick, Pete Roger’s to the Hat and Feathers - Newton St branch - Clive Wilson our player guest - Journalist Patrick Barclay hanging out at the pub. 80’s promotion parties at the Post Office Social club.

Ran a great pub, didn't take any messing either. Went back to the George after Gillingham at Wembley and the party was in full swing. The scene of many a happy night (and day) out in my younger years, back when Cheadle used to be THE place to go to warm up for a night out on the town.

Condolences to his family.

The George when Tommy had it is still, even above the Sherwood and the Bird in Hand, the City pub I miss the most.

RIP

My Dad knew Tommy from a long time back and when I told him he said ‘Good lad Tommy. Tough enough not to try to impress.’

I drank in the George a few times when he had it, top place to be a blue. RIP
