Neil Lennon gives big hearted donation to Tam McCourt's funeral costs

Big-hearted Neil Lennon has donated £200 towards the funeral costs of legendary late Hibs kitman Tam McCourt.

Lennon is currently in Slovenia for pre-season preparations with new club Rapid Bucharest but the Irishman took time out make a financial contribution - and pay tribute - on a fundraising page set up for McCourt. The justgiving.com page is aiming to raise £5000 "to assists with funeral expenses and to buy a memorial bench for Tam McCourt" who Lennon worked alongside during his time in the Easter Road hot-seat. Lennon posted the message "Will miss you Tam" next to his £200 donation. McCourt, who started out as a groundsman at Hibs, passed away earlier this month.

McGinn, speaking while in Germany for Euro 2024, said: "Wee Tam was the first person I saw when I walked through the door at Hibs. He was an absolutely amazing guy. Unless you wanted. Pair of fresh socks or a fresh towel. He always gave me the crusty ones because I would wind him up. "I can’t get Joyce and Thomas out my head and just on behalf of all us Hibees, especially me and Porto , over the last few days, we’re thinking of the you and the family”.
