Sorry to hear that.
He said hello to me a few years ago in Murrayfield, walking to David Murray's house. He had bought a newspaper at Wester Corner.
Very down to earth.

That’s one of those moments that gives you a massive jolt when you hear that. Absolute legend of a man who will be sorely missed.
RIP.
United we stand here....

RIP 007 Had the pleasure of meeting him several times during my time at the Caley, a nice guy who always had time for me.

Big part of all our lives, Mike Myers, description of him as the “quintessential Scotsman” came to mind when I heard the news. True, true legend - RIP.

Sad news. Loved him in The Untouchables, as well as Indiana Jones 3 as Mon Dieu4 mentioned above.

My Grandad was a school friend of Connery, they also played football together.
A few years back he was interviewed for an American documentary and as part of the set up he walked past Brunstfield and Darroch schools and I was beside him and he was to pout things out to me. I'm sure there is a VHS they sent us after it aired kicking about somewhere at my parents house.
Sean Connery is James Bond, everyone else who takes the role aspires to be him. I also love The Untouchables andPM Awards General Poster of The Year 2015, 2016, 2017. Probably robbed in other years

Thats awful news. An absolute Edinburgh icon. Everyones mum or granny in the part of the town I grew up in claimed to have had him as their milkman, either some of them were fibbing or he was the fastest milkman known to man.

Not a great example of the craft but interesting nonetheless

My ex met him when they were both doing hill walks for charity, he used to phone her from time to time. They've both passed on now, RIP Sean.
P.S. Apart from 007 I thought he was great in The Untouchables and Highlander.

First remember him on Indiana Jones. Brilliant childhood memory. Sad news.

Sad news indeed, big Tam was a proud Scot, did a lot of work for kids and although every part he played it was always with his Scottish brogue, he was a fine actor. My favourite part he played was in The Hill, set in an army prison camp in the Lybian desert.
