If ever there was a fearless defender, who took no prisoners, he was the man. Great player, sad loss.

R.I.P. Tommy.

Yes a typical 1970s defender.. a great loss

I know that he had umpteen injections in his knees as a player..steroids which rendered him disabled after he retired.

What a player, a real iron man playing in a fantastic team. I doubt if he ever contemplated wearing gloves! R I P

Went to a City v Liverpool game at Maine Road, probably about 1971 or 72

His tackling was worth the admission alone, you could hear the collision even above the crowd noise, usually fair but very intimidating

Suffered for it in later years. RIP Tommy

Rest in Peace. A very good "after dinner" speaker as well, with his stories about Shankly.

Tommy Smith,what a player for Liverpool in the day when footballers could tackle properly and,more to the point,opponents could take it. Saw him play many a time against United,who I supported then,saw some marvellous games in the sixties between the two. Great memories of a great player.

Because of his hard man image it’s often forgotten that he was a decent passer of a ball and didn’t make many mistakes. A real leader
