A pre-season ITV interview with Tommy from the same pre-season has been knocking around for a while but this one is from the BBC and includes the bizarre sight of sheep grazing on the pitch. Tommy mentions that the club's aim is to be back in the top flight by 1962. The first half of the video is focussed on Fword and you can see their new East stand being constructed (which only lasted until 1979)
The youtube channel has tonnes of BBC material from the late 1950s into the early 1960s, pre-MOTD era when it was "Sports Special" on a Saturday night with Cliff Michelmore (Tonight and later Holiday 7? fame) among the commentators.
