Sir Tom Finney


A true football legend, a gentleman and a scholar. We interviewed Sir Tom at Preston North End's ground - Deepdale. At one point, Tabacula had the keys to the whole stadium while we were searching for a quiet spot to do the interview but because of extensive work to the ground we ended up in the boardroom. The keys were returned!
Sir Tom reminisced about pre war football and what it was like to live in the same community as the supporters, often getting the same bus home as the fans - A far cry from today's millionaires.
