I'd always thought he was ten years younger than me, so about 58 now.
We've had some great laughs over the years, always good company.
I thought he was my age ISH and I'm 56.
You obviously knew him well as did Bob so condolences to you both mate.

He kept himself fit. Training at the gym etc, it’s a massive shock.I'd always thought he was ten years younger than me, so about 58 now.

Known him since 1972, couple of years older than me but at same small school where everyone knew everyone, and always safc daft. Nice lad, and just like Allan crago a mlf gone far too soon. RIP.
One of my best friends, mates since we were 14, RIP TOM
You're lucky to have known him so long mate.
There was always a good feeling around Tom and lots of smiling faces.
It's been great seeing all the comments around the boards about him.

I like you too smug. Your an antagonising fooker but I look past that![]()

Stick means nowt to me mate, thanks
You've probably guessed that a lot of what I post is tongue in cheek ...
... sadly the nuance doesn't always come across, on here, so it winds people up.
Anyone who knew Tom would tell you he was always very defensive about SAFC and never shy at speaking out. I'll take that as a bit of comfort while you're attacking me![]()

Same here mate. I've reached the age where I'm not willing to just tolerate arseholes when I'm out. On here is a different matter, you can choose to just log off or ignoreI'm the anti keyboard warrior.

The bear, now there’s a blast from the past, last time I ever saw him he was shuffling up roker ave in slippers, not a nice sight.Was anyone on here at Man utd away when the Bear said we all stick together at the end, Tom decided to sneak out and got caught, he gave as good as he got, but got a good shiner, on the bus on the way home he said it didn't hurt honest what a laugh we had.
I will do the church, but not the crem, hate those places, willing to meet for a wake afterwards thoughTom's Funeral is on Monday the 15th, we are asking everyone to wear red and white.
The funeral is at St Chads then to the crem.
After the Funeral we will know by Wednesday
The times I will post tomorrow.
RIP
