“Phil stood out as a true gentleman in the game of football.

“I came back to Glasgow for the holidays and I couldn’t leave without paying tribute to such a great guy.”

Neil Lennon - Celtic FC

"I didn’t know Phil personally but as a player he was a true gentleman on the park and a really nice guy.

He came back to Motherwell having been away for a long time and commanded the respect of all the younger guys at Fir Park."

Robbie Nielson - Hearts FC
