Tommy Muir RIP : minutes applause on 71 mins

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.

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.

Remember that story well, barred him because he was a red.
