Ex Liverpool keeper Tommy Lawrence has died. He was a bit of a character was Tommy! AKA the flying pig.
RIP

He was a decent keeper, it goes without saying you didn't play for Shankly unless you were a decent player. That's a great story in the Echo about Tommy Lawrence being stopped in the street to be asked if he remembered the 67 Cup Final.  |

One of the many characters that made the 60s and 70s such a memorable period for football in this country.
RIP.

Don't make footballers like that anymore. For starters, they'd be applying Nivea for hours on end.
Secondly they probably wouldn't be called "Tommy".

When I was kid I used to be fascinated with the keepers. Tommy, Les Green of Derby, Gary Sprake, Bob Wilson and the like.
Takes me back.
Just going off subject, my old man always pronounced Derby as Durby!! Weird.
