Happy Birthday Tommy Booth

[IOWBlue]

The epitome of what you would want, if you listed all the plus points of a player at your club. Loyal, humble, gracious, tough and a bloody good player. Off the pitch, the same. Rare that people of Tommy's calibre come along nowadays.

Thanks. It means loads.!!

It was great to see Tommy with Stan Horne and Buzzer recently at a book signing in Bramhall. They all look great.

Happy Birthday.

One of my childhood heroes and I bump into a relative of his last week as well.

Watched him play when I was a kid and many years later bumped into him at a wedding, proper nice guy.

Tommy used to visit a relative of his across the road from my old house. The previous owners of that house used to get visited by Terry Phelan and I remember him bringing the FA Cup to show them when he'd won it with Wimbledon

I wonder if there are many players who scored the winning goals (the only goal) in FA Cup ties for the same team with such a big gap as Tommy (Semi final v Everton 1969 and 5th round vs Peterborough 1981) ? An assist too in the 76 League Cup final for the Dennis Tueart winner.

75 years young and still going strong, happy birthday Tommy.

First City player to be younger than me!
