Celtic/ Tommy Heinsohn Trivia

[greg683x]

Theres been a lot love on this board for Tommy over the past week given his current circumstances, and also on the thread about favorite ex-player sports analysts, so a question crossed my mind and I thought it would be a good trivia question for the board.

When was the very first Tommy Point scored?  and of course, Who scored it?

Taking a guess here

1997 Eric Williams

EWill is a good guess, but my first guess would have to be Walter McCarty.

I was just wondering if the Tommy Point era extended further than Walter, or if they started with him.

haha nah Entourage wasnt on tonight so I had a half hour void from 10-1030 tonight.  The question crossed my mind, I searched for it on google for a little bit with no luck, so I figured this would be my hot spot for useless Celtic information.

Isn't that something, i just listed his name(Rodney Rodgers) as one of the first tommy point recipients,then i see the thread after about his accident.

 In case you are interested (OP),i just found out Malik Rose was the first nonCeltic Tommy gave a tommy point to.

Are they even doing the Tommy Award any more?
