Good bye to another boyhood hero

Only 4 weeks after the loss of another legendary  figure of English football (from a time when we still had a positive influence on the world game!) came the news of the passing of Tom Finney.
At a time when there is much discussion about the value of playing left footed players on the right and vice versa, it is worth remembering that Finney a world class right winger was switched to the left side by England's first ever Team Coach/Manager to accommodate an equally great Stan Matthews.
