"I went to a Celtic supporters' dance with Tommy Burns and our wives one Saturday night and it's something Carol and I still laugh about today.
Tommy picked us up in his new Audi and it was just another Saturday night for him, a supporters' bash, this time in Springburn.
We happily spent time chatting to the Celtic fans and heard about what they thought of the team and how much they craved success.
A good time was had by all but when we left around midnight we quickly discovered Tam's car had been broken into and his stereo ripped out and stolen.
The committee men were informed and were obviously apologetic.
"Just come in for one last quick drink and we'll see what we can do," was the strange offer.
Within 15 minutes the stereo was back in Tommy's car, the culprit had been identified and given a slap for damaging a Celtic star's motor!
These days players at the top level tend to have an inflated idea of their own celebrity.
A bit of time spent with people who make sacrifices every week to support their team might make them realise how lucky they are.'"
