The grieving family of an East Lothian rugby legend who died suddenly last week say the number of tributes has been “breathtaking”.
Dad-of-four and grandad-of-seven John Tinlin passed away recently at the age of 57 after being diagnosed with terminal tonsil cancer in 2021, with his son saying that his death “ended any suffering he had”.
Serving as the President of Rose High Rugby Football Club, John was a hugely respected and popular member of the community, having also featured as a player for the club in his younger years.
