"It was just two world class players going for a 50/50 ball."

John King's description of a crunching tackle on Ossie Ardiles in the FA Cup Third Round tie at White Hart Lane: 10th January 1979.

I remember Tommy very well. When I was mascot for Alty Tommy was a fullback, a bull of a man, not much got passed him and if they did Tommy would make sure it didn't happen again..

From reading that article he is obviously still a tough old bugger at 86... good on you Tommy fella

Sad to see Tommy as a white-haired frail old man but this teaches us that the 20-40 year old spirit lives within us no matter what age we are. I'd love to meet him again. If anyone could tell a tale, he could.
