I remember that game, he effectively ended Trevor Cherry's international career with a mesmerising display of skill. 😀

That error was not the only mistake made about Tom Finney. It says he turned down the offer to move to Palermo, when the truth of the matter was that PNE would not let him leave.

Re: Shurely shome mishtake
Tommy would show those boys a thing or two, even now.
I remember once, when my Frank God rest his soul, took me for a dirty weekend to Blackpool. Well, I were riding a donkey on Sunday afternoon when lo and behold Tommy and his friend Stan Matthews (a bit slick for my liking, not at all pleasant) came jogging up.
Well, I were always a bit starstruck with Tommy, he was a lovely boy and would never have taken advantage, but Stan seemed to take a liking to Ermintrude (the donkey).
Anyhow, to cut a long story short Ermintrude wasn't too enamoured when Stan tried to feed her his carrot, and she bolted. Bearing in mind this was right at the end of Tommy's football days and my Frank God rest his soul were suffering from back pain thanks to our antics the night afore.
It were awful. Ermintrude suddenly set off like Red Rum, hurdling sandcastles, leaving little kiddies weeping in her wake. My knickerbocker glories were flapping in the wind, I can tell you that much.
Who should tame the beast though, but Tommy. He came sprinting alongside us like Jesse Owens, but white. He flashed his gleaming teeth into Ermintrude's eyes and she stopped dead, nuzzling his musculline chest like a baby does to its mother.
My Frank God rest his soul were forever grateful to Tommy, and so was I, I can tell you.
A true gent, not like that sleazoid Matthews.

Tom Finney is the player to have won most caps whilst playing for us.
The most-capped player to play for us was Bobby Charlton.

Re: Shurely shome mishtake
I am quite up-to-date with 'street talk' thank you very much young sir.
And anyway, for your information I'm not a granny. My Frank God rest his soul and I were never able to have children after an unfortunate incident with my father's cattle prod when we were courting.
