Tom McMahon memorial

Outside the grounds of Violet JFC. Tom McMahon, a stalwart of junior football club Dundee Violet, died in Ninewells Hospital on 22 December 2020 aged 90. Tom trained to be a butcher and a flesher. He ran his own butcher’s shop in Harefield Road before moving into the pub trade. He owned and ran several pubs for many years including The Hawthorn in the Hilltown, United Bar in Castle Street and Pullman’s Lounge in Ward Road, music venue TFMs, and the St James AFC social club. After officially retiring from pubs, Mr McMahon also helped out with hospitality at Dens Park on Dundee FC matchdays. Daughter Linda Morrison told the Evening Telegraph: “The family and club came together to create the mural for dad in time for the funeral [on 30 Dec 2020]. We had spoken about it for some time but we are delighted to get in done as a mark of respect and in memory of dad."
