FROM a boyhood Buddie to becoming one of the Bhoys. And a Hampden cup final stage that he twice lit up with scoring feats which have long been engraved into the annals of the Scottish game. Thanks to @MailSport

Farewell Dixie. A peerless striker. And a footballer who, in those salad days, connected with the ordinary fan. I wrote his biography. And bought his house. Now i live in Dixieland where the ghosts of celtic icons mingle. Read @Redblaes fulsome tribute. https://t.co/CVX7pIkCD4

What an extraordinary talent! Brian Wilson single-handedly raised the bar on how to write and arrange a great pop song. He inspired and touched so many songwriters, including me. It pushed the Beatles towards Sergeant Pepper and in God Only Knows he created a masterpiece that

Sad to hear about the death of George Foreman. A pillar of boxing in the days when they were kings. A devastating puncher who became a humble preacher. Who can forget him knocking smokin' Joe off his feet? The rumble in the jungle with Ali is seared in my memory. Go easy big man.

Denis Law was everything us Scots like to think of ourselves as, writes GARY KEOWN - he was the underdog who can be king
dailymail.co.uk
The story of Law's rise from poor beginnings, born in 1940 as the youngest of seven to trawlerman father George and mother Robina at 6 Printfield Terrace, has formed the basis of the rich eulogies.

Dim the lights. Bow your heads in hushed tribute. A caesar has exited the stage. But his was a kingly crown. And so lightly did he wear it. He was, unlike today's lavishly rewarded brutish beasts, an honourable man. And we all did love him. Shakespeare in a pair of muddy boots.
My tribute to a boyhood hero. My respect never dimmed
