dunsbyowl Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I have a note here it is his 70th today ! The man who put the steel back into a 1970s Wednesday rapidly going down the plughole. I've collected a few photos of the big man together - anyone any TT memories ? I love the photo from the Boxing Day photo with Bobby Knutt - my mum bumped into Knutt him last year and asked him about this - he had this to say "Bloody hell, it makes me want to roar (cry) when i see this, I can't believe I put that shirt on". he said that TT was a mate of his and he used to show him how to go on in the gym, he asked him to put the shirt on for a laugh & TT said he would put the photo in the gym but he went and put it into the United/Wednesday programme! he said that he has always been a staunch Blade " The club that keeps giving ! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

royalowlisback Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 My Father-in-law used to help him out with his training sessions back in the day. We have both served him in our shop on a couple of occasions - he's a lovely bloke and still built like a brick you know what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I met him a couple of times in The Shoulder as im from Oughtibridge originally . Remember being in there one night , Tony was in sat at the other end of the bar in his usual spot , when in walked Jack Charlton ,who used to come in now and again with Tony. Down to earth blokes , both of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
