    Used to write Touchline Tommy column in free newspapers didn't he? Met him once in a pub before a match years ago and he seemed like a nice fella. RIP

    Really shocked to hear that, a great lad Tom.

    I was with him at the World Cup in France and it's a great memory.

    I'll miss you mate.

    Tom in the blue cap, and my son Graham two to the left.

    Wow, can't have been that old. He used to deliver our Football Echo when we lived at the top of Dalton Way (he live at the bottom). Loved the town as well as the club, I remember him being heavily involved in the campaign to keep Vaux as a going concern too. RIP bonny lad.

    I knew Tommy although not that well. He would know me by face but not by name. Irrespective of this whenever I saw him he would always find time to have a chat.

    A top bloke and well respected by all SAFC fans

    RIP Tommy

    Remember back in the 1970s, would see ‘Tom OK’ written by Tom on the back of upper deck bus seats serving the Board Inn area. RIP,Tom
