Jaws the Tom Forsyth Story

Product Information

Taking up the challenge and hoping to catch him out, the wily Scot goes up to the shaman and asks: "Who won the Scottish Cup Final in 1973?" Despite arriving as a centre-half and going on to make his name in that position, he initially played as an inside-forward and netted 17 goals in his breakthrough season as Motherwell won the Second Division.

Tam wasn't your archetypal football player of the nightclub-haunting, blonde-on the-arm variety. The big man spent the swinging 1970s clubbing another way - the 'bools'. He was pretty good at it too, with the bowling club his habitat of choice. It seemed unmissable but for one split second it looked as if he was embracing the option. But he was there, when all was said and done, to make history. But it was in the light blue of Rangers and the dark blue of Scotland that he created two freeze-frame moments that will live way beyond the 71 years he was granted. Linda died in March 2019; Tom Forsyth passed away following a long illness bravely borne. They are survived by son David and daughters Karen and Julie.

In an interview in the Scotsman in 2017, Forsyth, a keen bowler, golfer and gardener, said: "Yes, I was aggressive. I always wanted to win and to help make that happen I had to take care of my man but I'd like to think I was honest. Three years after his cup-final winner, Scotland fans will recall another memorable moment at the national stadium in a feisty Auld Enemy encounter.

Seventy-one is no age at all – massive respect Jaws. If ever the term Rangers Legend applied, you are one to me. Impressed by this amazing memory and detail, the Scot buys the old guy his drink, finishes his own and sets out on his way. Forsyth is survived by his three children, Karen, Julie and David, from his marriage to Linda, who died last year. In short, he fell “madly” in love with a neighbour’s wife and, in the course of purging the remnant drag of hard-line religion from his psyche, set fire to Scoraig’s abandoned Free Presbyterian church.Floating-point numbers are brilliant - they have decent precision and a large range. But they still only have 32 bits, so there's still only 4billion different ones (actually there's fewer than that if you ignore all the varieties of ~NANs, assume infs are basically bugs, and turn off denormals because they're agonisingly slow). So they have tradeoffs and weaknesses just like everything else. You need to know what they are, and what happens for example when you subtract one small number from another - you get imprecision. Sika has appointed Tom Forsyth as General Manager, a role that it says will see him build on the continued growth of the company across its multiple UK markets.
