Tommy Smith R.I.P on 19:10 - Apr 12 with 1206 views | D_Alien | 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 | |

Tommy Smith R.I.P on 01:51 - Apr 13 with 954 views | DiddyDave | 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 | | | |
