Sad to see another great player from the time we used to regularly produce them. A much better player than he was given credit for. May he rest in peace.

Ten years later, the same Scotsman comes across the same bar, goes in and sees the same barman, and the Hopi Shaman in the same corner. In respect for the Shaman's memory, wisdom and knowledge, the Scot approaches him with the traditional greeting: "How!"Forsyth remained a regular at both Ibrox and Fir Park in his later years – he worked in hospitality for Rangers and was an active member of Motherwell's former players club.

But it was in the light blue of Rangers and the dark blue of Scotland that he created two freeze-frame moments that will live way beyond the 71 years he was granted. My second-ever Rangers game was seeing him scrape the ball over the line with his studs from four inches – I can still see the joy in his face even now, and I loved him from that moment on.Hart, Ross (22 August 2020).

One of my abiding memories of Tam is the sheer joy on his face when holding the cup aloft after winning the treble in 1976! He said in 2017: "I don't think some Motherwell fans ever forgave me for going to Rangers but I just couldn't turn it down.

There can be few more nervous moments for Rangers fans than the goal he scored to win the 1973 Scottish Cup, the Centenary final against Celtic.It seemed unmissable but for one split second it looked as if he was embracing the option. But he was there, when all was said and done, to make history. I lifted my seven-year-old brother over the turnstile and my mates helped with "shoulder" duty during the game. I loved the guy! My son and I were discussing "real" centre half's during the Barca game midweek and I just thought that Tam wrote that particular book. At the end of a season in which Forsyth had just won the first of his two domestic trebles, the Rangers defender later admitted Docherty's words had driven him on as Scotland clinched their first home internationals trophy in nine years. Before the game, former Scotland manager Tommy Docherty said that comparing Forsyth with his Manchester United defender Martin Buchan was “like comparing a Clydesdale with a thoroughbred”. Forsyth became a favourite at Fir Park until he made the move to Ibrox months after Rangers won the European Cup Winners' Cup.
