RIP big Tam you were before my time, but one of my dads favourite players. Love watching that clip of him scoring the winner in the cup v Celtic. He is a legend of our club and Scottish football. Rest easy

Tam and Colin Jackson were the CH pairing I grew up watching, no nonsense center half. Seemed to be a lovely big fella too.

Sad news indeed, I was in the crowd the day he scored THAT goal.

 

[Carson's Cat]

Big Tam was a rare player who managed to be hard as nails but not dirty and could time a tackle to perfection and, as others have said, an absolute gent.

We lost a diamond today.

[academical]

Sad to hear this. One of a generation of stars I grew up with, very much in the tradition of centre backs who played alongside a big man who was good in the air. They tended to be either silky ball players like Bobby Moore or hatchet men like Norman Hunter. Forsyth was a bit of both.

Rarely got up the park to score goals. Apart from an obvious exception.

Only 71, but sounds like he’d been ill?

RIP

Very sad and shocking news about big Tam. A tremendous player and servant for us in the Jock Wallace era and beyond. I was fortunate to be at Motherwell for his Rangers debut and the 1973 Cup Final for his never to be forgotten winner. My sincere condolences to his family and friends.
