Just hearing the sad news that John Lambie has passed away. Remember him as a coach at ER under Bertie Auld (part of the first lot of team pictures I had on my bedroom wall). Obviously a legend at Partick Thistle.

Proper Scottish football character when I was growing up.

Partick Thistle legend and his success in the late 90s/early 00s was fantastic.

RIP.

Genuinely saddened to hear this

Watched the recent Hibs 2-0 Thistle game with a Partick fan and we were speaking about him

A real character in the Scottish game

Thanks for the classic "Tell him he's Pele and get him back on" line John

Was it JL that was told one of his players had taken a head knock and didn't know who he was?
Lambie allegedly replied (paraphrasing) "Tell him he's Pele and get him back on"

We need chacters like John Lambie in the game.
Saddened by the news of his passing. RIP

Colin maybe?

Physio told Lambie the player had a head knock and would need to come off as he didnt know who he was then came Lambie's brilliant response, "Tell him he's Pele and get him back on". :greengrin

RIP John.

That is sad news. He was a big part of ET’s backroom team before Bertie arrived. A real character lost. RIP John.

He was also a bit a of legend at Hamilton and flitted between them and the Jags for many years. Think he was in charge at Accies when they knocked Rangers out the Scottish Cup at Ibrox in 1986 in what was the huns' first season under Souness. It was a far bigger shock at the time than it would be today.

I think he was also coach at Hibs for some time before Bertie arrived. Pretty sure he was on my poster of the 1979 Scottish Cup final squad.

One of the big characters of Scottish football when i was a youngster. I think he was close to throttling Chick Charnley a few times at Thistle! Sad news. RIP

One of the good guys. There’s a good documentary on YouTube about partick’s promotion push in the 90’s with a lot of Lambie and his antics featuring, a right good laugh. RIP John.

A great loss, one of the great characters in the game, never frightened to voice his opinions either. Loved his pigeon racing as well, he was in the same club as a relative of mine. RIP John Lambie.

Fantastic programme on Sportsound at the moment. Fantastic stories from John - including one where Callum Milne skelped him! Hilarious. Well worth a listen.

Never tuned in. Did it tell the story of his squad throwing him up in the air and failing to catch him, followed by weeks off his work with his back?

Always found him to be a miserable but entirely lovable old sod.

RIP John.

Wasn't Callum Milne a Hibs casual as well?
