      Saw that interview a few years back - absolutely brilliant... I think a hell of a lot of players could learn a lot from spending time with the old guard. Will be a massive loss to his family, thoughts are with them...

      RIP Tommy

      I had the utmost pleasure to see Tommy play. As a young fan he always had a word as he left Anfield and I treasure the team photo he signed for me and my friends when we went at half term to watch them train, then bussed it back to a Anfield to wait for them to come out after lunch.
      RIP Tommy, they don’ t make them like you anymore, a lovely humble man and a great servant to this Club. Deepest condolences to his family and friends. Sleep well Tommy, night, night.

      RIP Tommy.

      I've always felt that the amount of money flying around in today's game a small portion should be set aside for ex senior players like Tommy.

      I'm not usually one to get emotional, but that little video admittedly, strangely enough, brought tears to my eyes.

      If ever there would be the chance to travel back in time, going to that era and watching that Liverpool team play and the Kop in full motion would be at the top of my list.

      RIP Tommy Lawrence, YWNA.

      Very sad day.

      It's always sad to hear of the passing of players from that period in history and even tougher when they made it with their club. Always loved reading and seeing clips of Liverpool from that era but no one can tell it better than the supporters and the players from that special era for the club (and British football in general). By all accounts an icon from the golden age and most importantly a total gentleman.

      Rest in peace Tommy Lawrence.

      Love watching and reading about that era too. Tommy Lawrence was always highly spoken of by everyone.

      This is very sad news indeed,not only was Tommy a excellent club man he was also a bloody good goalie.Bill Shankly went through 3 keepers prior to settling  on Tommy Lawrence and Tommy justified Shank's belief in him.R.I.P. Tommy and
      thanks for so many wonderful memories and the success you helped bring to L.F.C.

      Paid my respects earlier in the post but still very sad when I think about Tommy. I was on the Kop umpteen times and he used to wink to the Kop when he collected the ball behind the goal. He was great at covering for Smith and Ron Yeats. He was deceptively quick off his line and he was strong in the air. He kept Clem in the reserves for well over a season if I remember rightly.

      " flying pig" was a bit harsh. Probably the jumper he wore in goal, when it was pissing down his goalies jumper weighed a ton, probably weighing in at over 14st had something to do with it. Great on the angles as well. Strong lad, stocky but agile as well. Fitting tribute today.

      Sad loss..RIP Tommy Lawrence.

      His family would have been proud of that.

      A fitting match to pay our respects.
