I used to know an old couple who lived in the same area and knew him pretty well, as thw husband was also a Master Plumber.
They reckoned he was just the nicest bloke you could hope to meet.
They said he would often travel by public transport to home matches after working on a plumbing job in the morning.
Dont think too many of our current superstars would be up for that?

I woulold love to have seen his ability in todays game.

[MillerforScotland]

I would love to see his attitude in todays game!!

Just before my time but go along with the theory that in any sport,a great player 50-60 years ago would have adapted to the speed and proffesionalism of today's world.

RIP Sir Tom

This photo was taken at Stamford Bridge.
I was there with my old man, who had taken me for a 5 day holiday in London to see a match every day.
I have never forgotten this incident as that was the only bit of surface water on the whole pitch.
However with the mans skill and pace he would have been a star in any era.
