I'm from Preston and was brought up by my Dad to worship the ground he stood on. Met him for an autograph in 1969 - a real gent and in the words of Pele - one of the greatest footballers of all time.

RIP - and the local paper pays tribute. http://www.lep.co.uk/

Shankly was once asked if Tony Currie compares with Tom Finney. 'Aye, he compares all right." said Shankly. "But Tom is getting on for 60."
