RIP the Preston Plumber. Imagine the top premier league players having a second job.

Another great from a bygone era. I remember reading that he was wanted by an Italian club just after the end ogf the 2nd world war. His club said no and he continued to play for preston all of his career without issue. Wouldn't happen these days !!!

Similar to Ryan Giggs, though.

I didn't actually realise he was still alive.

Nonetheless, even my limited grasp of such things tells me he was a genuine old football hero.

I think he would have been quite accustomed to playing in the current weather

The most curious thing..
The best (or at least the second best after Matthews) winger to play for England?

One of the few instances when describing a footballer as "great" is actually accurate. RIP Tom.

I can live with or live without footballers.

Plumbers are essential however.

So no moaning when a top plumber charges you 200 nicker for a days work then.
