What a player! So sad to hear of this, I think he was the one that Barry Davies once said "look at his face, just look at his face!" I could be wrong but a great player for a great club. RIP Tommie.
RIP Tommy the Anfield Iron
Had the privilege of standing in the Kop watching you play many times in the 1975-76 and 1976-77 seasons.
A genuine Liverpudlian who ironically grew up in the Everton district of Liverpool.
Never gave less than 100% when wearing the Red shirt.
God bless you Tommy
Proper Footballer. That's all i need to say.
RIP. Don't make them like that anymore. What a legend.
Two of my grandparents died from Dementia which is a cruel & wicked Disease that robs it victim of their memory & has no cure & where long-time friends & family can seem like strangers as the brain deteriorates & so I hope Tommy didn't have to suffer long.
Look up 'Football Hardmen' in the dictionary & there will undoubtedly be a picture of the 'Anfield Iron' Tommy Smith who was as tough as they come & took no prisoners on the pitch.Not only that but he could play a bit too scoring in the 1977 European Cup Final against Borussia Monchengladbach & helping Liverpool win a plethora of cups including the FA Cup, 4 League Titles in his 18 years at the club making 638 appearances.
Thank you Tommy for being an integral part of making Liverpool one of the most successful & historic clubs.Best wishes to friends & family of the Anfield legend.
RIP the 'Anfield Iron' Tommy Smith.YNWA.
A proper defender from an era, real tackling was allowed. Today's forwards wouldn't know what hit them.
RIP Tommy
Tommy was a great defender in his time. R.I.P
