Thanks for the link.

 

He does sound just a little different from his modern day equivalents!

 

The British Pathe website is a fantastic website, by the way.

Thank you for posting that Gabriel, appreciated!

 

Amazing wee bit of film - to see and hear a Hearts legend is a privilege. Tommy's accent is a linguistic fossil - normal Edinbra accent affected by military service (commissioned?) plus the requirements of the government film-makers. Knw a few great old folk out Corstorphine way who were pals of his and said he spoke just like them! (invariably remembered as an utter gentleman)
