Famously, a plumber but also drove a tank in ww2.
And noted for his humility. Don't like playing the modern footballer card. ...but let's go over that again.....A great player who was a plumber and drove a bloody tank in the £#%&!ing war! Eat that, everyone today! |

He's a god in Preston. There's a chippy with his face painted on the shutters, true story. |

So long Tom.
Along with maybe Matthews and Charlton the greatest English player.
