Very sad nice man by all accounts
He had the hard act of Jerry Dawson to take the gloves from
He did a grand job
RIP Bobby
My thoughts with the family, sad times.
Minutes silence at Ibrox on Friday.
Certainly deserved. Didn't realise he was the manager of Scotland when we beat the 66 team to become "World champions"
Have to admit I didn’t know of him but condolences to his family. Always sad to lose older people - the knowledge and experience they take with them is irreplaceable. RIP.
Even I'm not old enough to have seen him play.
Forever indebted to him for managing the Scottish team that won 3-2 at
Wembley back in '67. He had admittedly a world class squad at his
disposal back then. Under Brown Scotland was the first team to beat the
recently crowned World champions - a team that included Simpson,
Gemmell, Greig, McKinnon, Baxter, Wallace, Bremner, Law, & Lennox.
Nobody about today who could lace any of these guys' boots.
Sleep well Bobby.

Already said that
But I gave more background detail.
And I read threads backwards right?
And I have a touch of 'veritas' - as I remember it.
We all went mental.
Crazy that he gave a European cup winner keeper his debut.
It was a strange year altogether.
Squad so strong Billy McNeill & Jinky not in with a shout.
2 teams from the same city in both Euro finals a couple weeks before.
We were riding high - as Pointy would say.
Yet missed out on qualification to the 1970 world Cup
Think he had some run ins with club managers regarding releasing players
The qualifier against W Germany was brilliant. Gemmell sent off for kicking a German player up the erse as he thought he had a shout at scoring.
Great game.

Helmut Heller iirc...a brilliant watch on you tube
Heller was a helmet right enough.
Never tire of watching the clip.
My favourite is the German version complete with tragedean music.
At 37s Heller knows he's getting it & gives a wee leap in a vain attempt
to reduce the impact.

If he doesn't have the Frank Zappa tune at the funeral it's a wasted opportunity.
