Tam Cowan got his big break with a regular column with the Evening Times and it was from there he got involved with the "Off The Ball", Radio show. Since then his career has gone from strength to strength.
Tam started with a quick response to John McGregor's grace in verse also, which showed how clever and quick witted Tam is.
"Bible John thanks for saying grace,
you rubbed yesterday's result in my face,
but you have every reason to rejoice,
as one of the few clergy that don't F**k boys".
Tam went onto praise the meal and the clever menu, after all it was noticed that the chicken was a special chicken. "Wilkie's headless chicken." to boos from those in attendance, he continued "a lot of people liked it, but I personally thought it was overrated."
No one was safe from Tam's razor sharp wit as he spotted Bobby Glennie in attendance and recalled how Bobby had been on his show "Offside" recently. "It was great having Bobby there just to smell his fingers, that was some career Bobby had."
Someone's Mobile phone then rang, so Tam responded with a few quick Ad-Libs about Mobile phones and their danger to our health, allegedly Ulrika Johnson caught crabs off an Ericsson.
He was going to dedicate his speech to the Hibs fans present in line with their own recent 2-2 draw with Livingston. It was going to start well, then he was just going to throw it away at the end.
Dundee were Tam's tip for the Scottish Cup that wasn't just his opinion, but also that of the Iraqi Information Minister. He reckoned Alex Totten, Falkirk's Director of Football panicked when he saw all seats sitting there which was probably understandable.
Tam paid tribute to the Capital Dark Blue's for holding an event in Edinburgh. "What a great idea to have a Dundee Supporters night not actually in Dundee, what a result all you guys pretending to have jobs in Edinburgh. I know you're all asylum seekers."
It wasn't just the Dundee Supporters and the Players present that were the target of the Tam's razor sharp wit, the City itself also was fair game in his eyes, with many numerous jokes regarding Dundee on his agenda including the recent headline of a near miss at Dundee Airport, when two planes came within 3 weeks of each other. "Come on he said it's just a joke I can't say I was in the Liverpool dressing room with Bill Shankly. I'm Sorry!"
Tam had cheered up with coming to the capital Dark Blues event as Scott had tried really hard to get other top TV pundit and colleague Gordon Smith, but Gordon was washing his hair. He would have come but he'd just put it in the machine. To show there was no bias Charlie Miller was also invited, but tragedy struck as he was leaving Tannadice in a Helicopter to get to Edinburgh, since he was feeling warm he leaned out to switch off the fan.
Tam was obviously enjoying himself as he started to worry about the time, as he didn't want to dig into everyone's drinking time, or was it his own as later pictures will determine. One thing for sure Tam had everyone in stitches as he has a great way of slagging off the company he's in and the things they love, without actually being offensive. A great gift to have, which made him a great after dinner speaker.
