Puts things into perspective at times like this.

Thanks for the memories Tom, and RIP

RIP. A great man from a great era.

Tom Finney was one of the greatest, RIP

I didn't realise that he was a successful plumber with his own business after he finished playing footie.

Even though he was being head hunted by top Euro teams, he always remained faithful to Preston NE.

Wonder if we will ever say these same things about today's greedy sods.

Crazy that when you think of the money players earn now its easy to forget it was so different years ago players getting the bus to training and to the match and players having to basically have a day job in between playing football they were almost semi pro's back then really.

I remember reading a story about Sir Tom Finney used to show up for training with a wheel barrow with his pluming tools because he had to do a job in the morning before training.

It seems millions of years ago.
