On Wednesday received a vast amount of material refence Tommy (including some photos) of 53-54 and half of 54-55 seasons.These are only copies from his first scrapbook and there are at least three other scrapbooks to be copied.When I have them in their entirety they will be given to the Trust.

Another very sad loss.
I remember Tommy when I first started to support the Blues in 1958.
He was a tremendous right back who never gave the opposing winger an inch. His tackling was awesome. Unfortunately, it is an aspect of today's game that has almost been outlawed.
Thanks for the memories and RIP.

Supporters in row F were in danger when Tommy made one of his slide tackles! If u thought Chopper Harris and Tommy Smith were hard they were powder puffs in comparison.
