Arguably the greatest English footballer ever.His playing skills were unrivalled and he packed stadiums wherever he played.During the 1940's and '50's,Finney dazzled both defenders and spectators with his spectacular runs on the wings,scoring 30 goals for England and no fewer than 210 during 14 seasons for Preston North End.He was strong ,very fast,completely two-footed and extremely agile.He played in three separate positions - on both wings and at centre-forward. Avoiding the limelight,but still passionately involved in the game today, Tom's opinions on football are as refreshing as they are forthright.He believes that the standard of play is just as high as in his own day,though lacking the same entertainment value and hampered by players and managers who are determined to win whatever the cost or consequences.Finney was always more than just a footballer.He was - and is - a tremendous ambassador for a game which has received more than its fair share of adverse media coverage in recent years.Never booked or sent off in his entire career,Finney was the perfect gentleman on and off the field - modest, unassuming and loyal.A unique and exciting study of one of the greatest sportsmen of our time.
