Tommy came to thejames island football team from Bisop England. Needless to say we were not very receptive. That is the way it went back then. Within 2 weeks it was like he had been there from the inception. A tougher guy i have never met. I am very proud to have known him as a friend. Anybody that knew Tommy understood that he DID NOT COTTON UP to any one unless he liked them. I thank God that i had an oppurtunity to call him my friend. I will miss him. We all lost a good man!!
