Significant people's (not celebrities) deaths

RIP Andy

Peter Grant paid a lovely tribute to him a few weeks ago at a benefit night. Cost Celtic at least 5 trophies I’d say over years. He was some keeper.

He was a brilliant goalie, and famously the acceptable face of taunting mental illness :man_shrugging:

Was he the lad who ignored some shocking warning signs?

RIP

Didn’t Andy clarify that black armband was for his aunt?

Billy Wright was Andy’s aunt?
