Just seen this on the BBC website:

I remember when he was manager of Everton and we were in the Premier League, I had one of those roving season tickets and we had landed a couple of seats just behind the dugouts. Walter Smith and Burley spent the entire match ribbing each other and joking, it was a pleasure to watch them - can't remember much else about the game or even the score. |  |

That's very sad. A great football man who is revered up here by one half of the Old Firm.

Not a big follower of Scottish football, but even I enjoyed watching Rangers under his leadership, Laudrup, Gazza, McCoist etc!!
Legendary figure up there. RIP. |  |

See that while watching Talksport Ally Mccoist did a lovely tribute about him and about his family, he was understandably visibly upset |  | | |

He always came across as a lovely bloke. Good manager too. |  | | |

Ryorry will be able to confirm this but pretty sure the music is 'A Farewell To Stromness' composed by Sir Peter Maxwell Davies (although I don't know who the pianist is), a beautifully understated piece for a tribute. And looking at those images I have to wonder if Walter Smith was the only manager apart from Bobby Robson to get the best out of Paul Gascoigne? | |

That's a bit harsh on Terry Venables! Gazza was PFA Player of the Year under him at Spurs, and was also pretty canny at Euro 96. | | | |
