Tommy spent his youth in the pro youth Rangers FC and then played for Ayr United, his hometown pro team. Ayr is a small seaside town, the size of Penticton, on the west coast of Scotland. Tommy has been coaching for almost 20 years. After being capped at the international level for Scotland Amateur, he coached the pro-youth keepers at Ayr United. Since immigrating to Canada he has become a very sought after keeper coach and now coaches all ages of players, with all different levels of ability. He has seen his players progress to play for many different colleges and universities, as well as the White Caps. He takes great pleasure in seeing them progress in this sport, and in being able to play a part in their development.
