Tommy Booth - was he any good?

[kashmir]

great city player vastly underated but steady as a rock a true blue watch his goal v everton fa cup semi final 1969

 

[cibaman]

Great performance in the 68/69 fa cup semi final against the favourites, everton, when he scored and did a man marking job on Alan ball

tommy would hardly be as high on our all-time list of appearances if he were a donkey, would he?

He was a great player and on the few occasions that I have met him, he's come across as a real gent.

Mr reliable was Tommy...... and could find the net with his head too !.... but loyal to the club and never one to moan or groan... a true City player...

Had the pleasure of meeting big tommy a few years ago,perfect gent,and from what I remember of the 68,69,70,seasons a pretty decent player.

going back a bit but i seem to remember him making his debut at huddesfield, heslop was injured so tommy got a game, i reckon he was about 19. not sure but i thought he'd broke his nose first game.

I think whoever said it will find that Alan Ball was man marked by Dave Connor in the semi final. For some reason Dave could always be relied on to suppress Ball, not may others in England could do that.

tommy booth was an excellent player, coming into the side in 1968-69 when he was only 19 and giving city many years of sterling service. joe or malcolm (or both) said he was the best english footballing centre half in years and once in the england team would be there for a very long time. sadly that never happened.

did he go in goal at Stoke in a league cup tie?....sure we spent most of the game singing "Tommy Booth, Tommy Booth" to the "here we go" tune!
