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.

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.

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.

Hard player but also could play a bit too . Good luck to him , hope he recovers .
