The funeral of the former owner, Sir Tom Farmer, will pass the stadium so that fans can pay respect

Sir Tom was credited by the current coach, David Gray, as “saved the club at the time of need.”

Hersi will lead from the Scottish business pole and former owner of Hibernian FC Sir Tom Farmer through the club’s stadium after his funeral so that fans can pay their respect.

He had a majority share in HIBS for 28 years, selling his attention in 2019 to American businessman Ron Gordon, and the current coach David Gray was attributed to him as “saved the club at the time of need.”

Sir Tom’s financial intervention helped prevent hostile acquisition from Hartis Wallace Mercer in 1990 and bought the club and the Easter Road from the parents’ future receptors after a year amid serious financial difficulties.

Hibs will soon win the first cup of the league in the Sir Tom management for 28 years, and he presided over the Scottish Cup that returns to the Easter Road Road in 2016 after waiting for 114 years.

The founder of the Kwik Fit series died at his home in Edinburgh on May 9, the 84 -year -old. His accurate applause was in the Hibs V Rangers match in Easter Road on Saturday.

On Wednesday, it was announced that in the wake of a special family funeral, Sir Tom will take a last trip behind his beloved stadium in Easter Road in Edinburgh on May 28 so that fans and members of the public can say their farewell.

Hersi is expected to pass at the club at approximately 12.45 pm. A souvenir service was later planned this year to recognize his contribution to civil and public life in Scotland and abroad.

Mr. Tom, the former director of the MyTravel and Scottishpower Group, was welcomed by the first minister in Scotland John Sweeney as a “generous individual for many reasons in Scotland.”

The Scottish Secretary Ian Murray said that Sir Tom was “Scott Program” and a “huge shareholder” football share in Edinburgh.

“It was a nice moment to be able to offer the Scottish Cup to him for everything he did as a supporter of HIBS and everything he went through,” said Gray, who received the late winner against Rangers on the Scottish Cup for HIBS.

He added: “At all times, perhaps watch HIBS does not win the Scottish Cup and all the pain he was exposed to as well, so this was a real, real moment for myself to participate with the club on that day.

“I know how much everyone means that on that day was involved in the club, but nothing more than sure.”

Sir Tom was born in Laith in 1940 as the smallest of seven children. Kwik started in 1971 and grew to become an international chain before selling it to Ford for a billion pounds in 1999.

He married Ann in 1966 after they met in their local church, and the religious Catholics were together for 57 years until her death in 2023.

He was a knight in 1997 for his car industry services and made a commander of the Royal Victorian order in 2009 for his charitable work, including the Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Duke of Edinburgh Prize.

He was the first Scott to receive the prestigious Andrew Carnegie medal for charitable works, and he received a knight with the great St. Gregory star by the Catholic Church.

His family said in a statement previously that Sir Tom’s life “touched many aspects of Scottish life and the United Kingdom”, and charitable works will be remembered.

They added: “A lot of Sir Tom will remember his deep commitment to his family, work, faith, and being at all times a proud Scottish.”

Hibs previously honored a post on X, saying: “Hibernian FC has been destroyed to hear the death of the former owner Sir Tom Farmer, 84, thank you for everything, Tom.
