Scottish football has lost a true gentleman of the game as the Hotline united in tribute to former national boss Craig Brown. Sorrow and stories about a man less ordinary both as a manager and a man.
Stephen Johnstone, Ardentinny, said: "Scottish football has sadly lost its greatest ever national football manager, who was the best teacher in his class. Craig Brown was better known to everyone as wee Paw of the Broons. The most famous Brown of all, he was world class. R.I.P. Paw Broon, a true gentleman."
William Masson, Aboyne, emailed: "The tributes paid to the late Craig Brown are well deserved. A gentleman whose humility was one of his most endearing qualities. His record speaks for itself but he’d never reel off his achievements, he’d express his gratitude and fortune to have been there." Joseph Wilson, Ayr, said: "Whilst working in Prestwick I would often get the chance to talk to Craig briefly about all things football. It would be 'Mr Brown' this and 'Mr Brown' that and I don't know how many times he said "Call me Craig!" That was the mark of the gentleman."
