He was a top coach and a top person.
I remember when he wrote about his time at Tilbury FC and compared it to his spell with us.
He described the atmosphere at Tilbury as the “public bar” and at Grays, the “lounge bar”.
It wasn’t a slur about the Dockers, rather a comparison of the state of the Clubs at the time. He led Tilbury to great success, but at Grays it was (another!) period of struggle with the Trustees of the ground.
He did bring players like Jackie Parkinson and John French to the Rec from Tilbury, but his heart was always at St Chads Road.
RIP Tommy.
