Would football be where it is today without the past influence of the superstars of yesteryear - players of the calibre and character of Sir Tom Finney? I, for one, very much doubt it.
Ian Penrose, CEO Sportech PLC
I live just round the corner from the Tom Finney pub. Whenever I go past it I always think of him and how much of a brilliant man he is.
Kate O'Donnell
Sir Tom further earned the respect and regard of the people of Preston for his citizenship and services to the local community as a magistrate and chairman of the local health authority. At the time of his appointment, rumour had it that the Secretary of State, Norman Fowler, asked Ken Clarke who should be the next Chair. Ken Clarke replied "there used to be a good right-winger in Preston called Tom Finney!"
Malcolm Rae, OBE, FRCN
Our hero, our one and only legend. There's only you who can score goals!
