Re: Tom Finney
I had the privilege to watch Tom Finney play on many occasions and to have met him once. He was a wonderful footballer and a real gentleman. In all his career he was never booked. Not many of todays players will be able to say that when their playing days are over. The prima donnas of the present are not fit to lace the boots of the likes of Finney.
Whats more they would struggle playing in 'real' football boots and with a leather case ball. Sadly the players such as Finney, Matthews, Lofthouse and Mcilroy with their super talents but unassuming manners will never be seen again.Mores the pity. R.I.P Tom and Thank You for the hundreds of hours of delight you gave the fans lucky enough to watch you play.
