    A fantastic footballer and also from what a close friend of mine from Preston told me, a great and generous man.
    I saw him play live at Eastville against Rovers in an FA Cup tie and on a gluepot of pitch, his control of the ball was superb.
    RIP Sir Tom and thank you.

    What a player was Tom Finney, the greatest English player i had the pleasure seeing, play anywhere along the front line, equally good with either foot, and could score goals, the nearest thing to an English Lionel Messi. RIP Tom.

    The way everyone is feeling about Tom F is the way I felt and continue to feel about Big John Atyeo.

    RIP Tom Finney, a true proud Englishman..
