R.I.P.

Tom Finney - one of the last - if not the last - of his kind.  A footballer who played for his local team, and stuck with them through good times and bad.  A footballer who had a day job (plumbing) and of whom it was said by none other than Bill Shankly "he would have been great in any team, in any match and in any age... even if he had been wearing an overcoat".  It's a cliché to say we shall not see his like again - but I'll say it.
