Did Tommy play for Wednesday, Jim?

Did Tommy play for Wednesday, Jim?

 

No, just Liverpool, Tranmere and Scotland.

Recall him as part of a moderately successful Liverpool team in the sixties. Their heyday was when Ray Clemence took over in goal, from 1971 onwards.

 

Great shot-stopper, Lawrence, though his shortage of height made him susceptible to crosses. I can recall a match at Hillsborough in the late sixties when Tommy dropped a cross which was then prodded home by Alan Warboys. No Wednesday player was near him.

 

Disallowed, sparking pandemonium and showers of blue cushions raining down from the North Stand.

I seem to recall that 60s Liverpool team being more than moderately successful. Wasn't he part of the team that Shankley put together which were great right down the middle, Lawrence, Ron Yeats and Ian St John.

That was the foundation for what the Liverpool team have achieved since.

Tommy would perhaps complete most of them, because if any of todays players had any sense they'd keep away from him and pass the ball if they saw him coming. They didn't call him 'Granite face' for nowt.

Correct Jim, tho' the Owls did once sign a Tommy from Liverpool, Tommy Tynan.
