    Remembering Tommy Lawrence R.I.P

    The Liverpool goalkeeper who sadly passed away today. Jeff Astle used to have a few tussels with this stocky goalie.
    My Dad won 2 tickets to see Liverpool v Leeds in the 65 FA cup, I think the tickets came via Bill Clements, the referee from West Bromwich who was the ref from this game. Got Tommy's autograph, having sent him a photo to Anfield with a stamped addressed envolope, also got the other goalie from Leeds Gary Sprake. Got a few autographs this way, a lot never replied.
    So Dad took me to the game, Liverpools ist FA Cup win 1-0 diving header from St John. Told Dad next time i'll be watching Albion win the cup,had to wait 3 years. Always loved the FA Cup.

    Tommy Lawrence was known affectionately by Liverpool fans as the flying pig.
