Insert Stringy joke. Although he's usually having his tea about that time of day.

Cocktails, young man.  Cocktails.

I’m surprised by many of the posts here. His unrepentant views are horrific. They are so bad that I don’t think they can be divorced or ignored at any time from what he did on the pitch. Others do. Fair enough (although I obviously strongly disagree). I’ll not comment any more.

His funeral was today. This poem was done by his daughter and read by the Priest:

 

“So I want you to hear this:

You may lose your football skills.

And live with metal knees and pills.

And forget the roar of the Kop, the thrills.

But you never lost my love.

You may lose your confidence

Your rugged looks and elegance.

Your power to think and eloquence.

But you’ll never lose my love.

You may lose your memory

And forget your own identity

And your room be full of mystery.

But you never lost my love.

You may have had to be spoon fed

Lying in a nursing bed.

Not understanding what I said

But you never lost my love.

You have felt all alone

Sitting in a nursing home

You always had and you never will, ever, lose my love.

Your family loved you, Tommy, a great deal.

The fans loved you a great deal.
