Didn't really have an appropriate place for this , so I thought I'd start a new random, and probably shite, thread to house it in. Anyway, quite a nice little video some of the older boys might appreciate.

Catchy thread title.

Good old Tommy, 'The Flying Pig,' the first sweeper-keeper. Never saw him play but I remember hearing so many versions of the supposed day he landed with such force the Kop shook and he concussed himself.

Catchy thread title.

I thought it was a spam bot thread.

 

[My_Blood_Bleeds_Red]

It is.

 

[Mystic]

It is.

I ain't no bot, the thread is as intended.

 

[My_Blood_Bleeds_Red]

Most threads in here are spam. Regurgitated discussions that have been done to death. And Lucas is definitely a spam bot.

My old man always spoke highly of the Flying Pig. Without him and his like we wouldn't have become the club we are today. Part of our first ever great modern day side and a true gent besides.

Imagine being a beat reporter in Liverpool and not knowing the name of Tommy Lawrence. Fucking spanner.

Heh, that's great.

Very underestimated keeper, partly because he played in an era of great keepers like Banks and Jennings, but also because he was succeeded by an even better player, Ray Clemence, far and away our best keeper in recent times. You don't win two league championships and an FA Cup without being able to play a bit.

Cringe of the highest order this.

Is that Avvy's work?

"The Flying Pig" was an invention of the Evertonians, so we shouldn't really use that soubriquet when referring to one of our former players.

There wasn't an ounce of fat on Tommy, although he was stocky. He was arguably the first keeper to control his penalty area, rather than just standing on his goal line waiting for a shot to save. He didn't really have a weakness - the kind of keeper who creates confidence in the whole defence.

Here's Faustino Asprilla dressed as a pink Tyrannosaurus Rex teaching his horse how to play football.

It genuinely is him as well.

Old random shite.
