Did anyone see North west tonight the local news channel? Apparently the last time a merseyside Derby was played in an evening was 1967 watched by a 100,000 people an FA cup fifth round tie. Anyway the reporters were walking the streets of liverpool with a film crew and asking random people off the streets did they remember the 1967 tie all said no then they interviewed an elderly chap and he say yes he remembered it and he played in it. They said who are you ? And he said Tommy lawrence I actually remember him they called him the flying pig as he was very portly or stocky. He was the keeper in shanklys day. It was not a set up it was genuine
What are the chances of that ?
In the studio they apologised to him for not recognising him to be fair he looks very different now and he looked a different build also
Liverpool is an amazing place
I remember him well. He almost filled the space between the sticks.
Bloody good goalie though all the same.
