Watched him play many times and met him a few times he was indeed a gentleman and a great footballer. RIP.

Seen Tom play when I was a youngster (and Stanley Mathews), and was a supporter of Preston North End in the 70's going to Deepdale every Saturday to watch North End play. At the time Alan Ball Senior was Preston's manager and there was no such thing as all seater stadiums.

Sad news indeed. The best ever English footballer by a country mile said Bill Shankly. Also a true gentleman who never sought the limelight. R.I.P.

Bad to know it. England's all-time leading goalscorer Bobby Charlton once said of him: "Sir Tom Finney was one of the greatest footballers there has been; he was the type of gamer we would vacation far to look at."He's a great man and also has offered a great deal to rugby, especially in the Preston region. They like him there."
