Posted June 6, 200717 yr http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/footbal ... 727365.stm Maybe a good time in amongst all this anti Liverpool feeling to take a step back and wish him the best in what I hope is a full and speedy recovery. Smith was a hard bar steward but in fairness to him I would never have him pinned as dirty.
June 6, 200717 yr I agree, very like Chopper in many ways. Hard as they come but not a dirty deliberate leg breaker like some I won't bother to mention.
June 6, 200717 yr Hope he recovers. A lot of players of that era have died relatively young: Ossie, Hutch, Bremner, Ball, Moore to name five. Tommy Smith did have a lot in common with Chopper. Hard as nails and a real clubman.
