R.I.P tommy smith the anfield iron ⚽️🏆🔴.hopefully we bring a trophy back to anfield this season YNWA❤️
respect from a united fan love players like this
Tommy was my hero, when I played football as a defender I always tried to play like Tommy, hard, fast and tough with an elegant touch. A true legend. I only got to watch him once back in March 1968 when Liverpool played Wolves at Molineux , it was a draw 1-1. I was a 13 year old boy and will never forget the game. Roger Hunt scored the equaliser in the second half. A memory I will never forget.............
I used to see Tommy in Bootle strand and he always had time to talk to you. I first saw Tommy in 1967 when I used to go in the boys pen and he was always the player I wanted to be. When I met him I was star stuck meeting my hero in the shops .
Those were the days, when you really could bump into your team's players in the shops.
Tommy Smith what a player,Loved watching him as a kid .Tommy played in some great Liverpool teams back in the days of real football not like todays carry on..
RIP Tommy, Thank you for your service, YNWA
RIP Tommy from Everton. Good old fashioned player with class oozing out
Had the pleasure of meeting Tommy outside Anfield a few years ago, proper old Scouser and a true gent! R.I.P Tommy you’ll always be a hero and legend
tommy smith would wipe the floor with anybody (r.i.p tommy)
Love him or hate him....his record speaks for itself. R.I.P. Legend.
As hard as a freight train, but a class act too. One or two of his tackles may have been about an hour late but generally speaking he was a fair and honest guy. The sign of a true hard man is that they can take it as well as dish it out, and Tommy was one of those guys. Long may he reign,
I met Tommy in ANFIELD October 1986 what a build with the Fog horn leghorn chest he wore striped polo Liverpool shirt 9 years after his League EUROPEAN cup triumph with our beloved reds.. 5 ft 10 of muscle.
Rip Tommy from Everton fan true gentleman who was hard as nails
Legend ,R.I.P Tommy, hard man but also very talented. Leeds fan
Tommy was a great player for us, but ironic they talk about the 65 Cup final. Smith didn't break anyone's collar bone, unlike Leeds Collins who busted Gerry Byrne's in the first 10 minutes. Gerry played the rest of the game (no subs allowed) with a broken collar bone AND contributed to the winning goal. THAT'S a hard man. RIP Tom & Gerry :)
RIP Tommy you legend
thanks vinny i can barley remember him..but i can remember you ..bosss ..❤❤❤
What an absolute tank of a player. I’m a palace fan. RIP Tommy
RIP Tommy Smith. Liverpool legend...
18 years playing with his boyhood club Liverpool. RIP Tommy Smith
He had a trot around the park with Swansea 👍
To be fair to Tommy Smith, most of the clips of him here, apart from a couple at the end which were filth tackles, showed a player who could read the game very well and a firm but fair tackler. I was born in 1970 so I was very young when he was in his prime during the early to mid 70's and can't remember a great deal about him but from what I've seen and the bits I can remember, I think the thug label was a bit harsh.... Yes he could put himself about a bit if needed but he was also a very good footballer.
You are right you can see he had quality and a football brain
From a Man U fan. Great great player. RIP Tom
R.I.P. Tommy,one of the best!
Very underrated player, what a legend.
Remember him and Larry Lloyd going for a 50/50 tackle at Wembley, earth shattering! Different era, every team had its hard man.
They did .....and did the refs give the ball players any protection, they just had to be quick look at George Best's bruised legs after every game. even in local football Harris and Webb at Chelsea even Jackie Charlton
Clive 'The Book'!! Proper Stuff!
Tommy Smith and Dave Mackay, the hardest of all. George Best once said that Vinny Jones could trap a ball further than he could kick it.
As a Jock it baffles me he only got one cap. Hard as nails but a top drawer footballer with it. They don't make ' em like that anymore.
My Dad was a taxi driver and looked pretty fearsome himself. He had Tommy Smith in his taxi one day and he said to me "that Tommy Smith looks hard on the TV but in real life he looks absolutely frightening".
Tommy only got one cap what an injustice a great player he went to St. John's school in Kirkdale then went to a top school when he was eleven years old he played for St. John's football team I remember him as a little stocky boy with bad acne but he could play he was only sent off once and that was for arguing with the ref used to talk to him in the bootle strand shopping always with his wife RIP TOMMY
England managers at that time didnt know the difference between a pebble n a diamond. YNWA Tommy lad ! RIP.
RIP Tommy, and no glove wearing namby pamby`s need apply
As a blue nose it beggars belief Tommy played one game for England. There were many really great players who never got one cap.
I knew he was a hard basterd but wow what a complete player as well.rip (palace fan first game 1973) btw vinnie leave it out son men were quite simply harder in those days you wouldn't have made it to half time.
Have a battle with him?Vinnie,he'd have eaten you.
R.I.P Tommy " Anfield Iron" Smith Y.N.W.A
Thankyou very much for the Anfield iron.
R.i.p Tommy from a Walsall fan.
in 1965 I was 14 He played in the Cup final.. all my favourite players were midfielders and forwards.. But what a good footballer I never realised... So mature in his first season 1965
Imagine him in a Liverpool midfield now! Hendo & Fab would have competition
I love the commentary / ‘Newcastle were stripped naked’ (not finishing with ‘and frucked’)!!!
Fantastic anecdote from Jimmy Case, himself a legend in a tackle. Jimmy relayed an account of his debut for Liverpool against Burnley. He was detailed to mark Burnley’s star winger Leighton James. Just before the kick off Jimmy says to Tommy, “Tommy, what do you want me to do with Leighton? to which Tommy screamed back to him..”You flick him up into the air and I’ll boot the fucker into row Z” ....Irreplaceable.
Tommy come on old son 4.50 against Clarkie bad challenge took him out of the game. I AMA leeds fan (Leeds Leeds are falling apart again). Proper footballer tommy just like us. RIP Tom x
Rest well Tommy.
Tommy forever my hero
RIP
Tommy Smith
YNWA
R.I.P. Iron man..
Imagine Neymar playing against Tommy? He'd crap himself ,and if Neymar went down from a tackle from Tommy , Tommy would drag him up or plant him into the turf of Anfield. R.I.P Tommy.
Neymar would have taken the piss out of him
Neymar would have fallen at the sight of Tommy. I mean His antics during the world cup was a piss take, he was acting like he was shot when he went down.
the great tommy smith
His real nickname was The Tank. He was not born, he was quarried.
Tommy actually played 639 times for us in all competitions.
Tommy's treatment in his later years by the govt. is another in the long list of reasons why Liverpool fans hate the 'establishment'. Whilst suffering from Arthritis, plastic knees, elbows and hip; combating the early stages of dementia - Tommy took a penalty kick for charity at the half time break during the FA cup final between us and Utd. The result of which the bloody Govt. stopped his disability allowance!
God needed a new minder...Sampson is passed it.....rip brother Tommy...
The buildup to red scouse's 2nd v. Toon is just magnificent, esp. for that era.
R.I.P Tommy
I saw Tommy when I worked in Liverpool in about 1993. He was using a walking stick, and his knees really looked like they were giving him trouble. He'd have been in his late 40s I guessed. I felt really bad for him.
RIP Tommy.
RIP Tommy Smith
It's not really that strange he only got one England cap as he was playing at the same time as Bobby Moore & Norman Hunter. Despite that,Tommy Smith is one of the great players of that era,
Neither of whom were right-backs. We weren't exactly spoilt for choice in that position when Smith was in his prime- Keith Newton tended to get the nod, probably because he was conceived by Ramsey to be a more cultured player.
Simply the best
RIP very sad day
D kop will always remember tommy y n w a
3:14 to 3:26. Fantastic skill and acceleration.
great team they were back when it was a level playing field before before oil money ruined the game Liverpool were the best in Europe
Mick Hartford Duncan Ferguson. Yes you may not fully catch this and You might not respect this . Ronnie Whelan was every bit as hard as any of those but it was his humble persona that fooled many. Souey said Whelan was hard as the next to look at him you didn't picture he be tougher than the look.
Smith was though, no doubt about that. Sometimes he met players who were tougher than him. Steve Powell at Derby County was pone of them. Many people think that being a thug like Vinnie Jones has something to do with being tough as a footballer. Which is completely wrong. One of the toughest and best players ever was Dave Mackay. No player was tougher than him and at the same time he was fair.
Every team from the 70s had at least one hard man that would make Vinny Jones look like a complete wimp. Grabbing someone's nuts does not make you a hard man, just makes you a bit of a perv. If Jones had done that to a team mate of Tommy Smith's he'd have ended up in intensive care for a month.
Football back then was the (70s and 80s) chelmsford youth league
Definitely it was bloody awful they were best pub side in Britain
@@TheWelwyn21 Salty much?
You have a lot to learn. Guarantee you are a manc
@@King-cb5kl no just stating a fact, I enjoyed going to football in this period. Come on the football was shyte the majority were piss heads and smokers. Modern day footballers would smash every team at least 10 nil they are super athletes. Even on the shitty pitches
@@TheWelwyn21 It's called evolution mate. Things get better overtime but you need to stop comparing eras
Isn't that the beauty of the game - the free-kick- cos you don't have to pay. But if you get a free -kick from 30/35 yards u can blast that in the net.
Also, are you suggesting that Tommie Smith dived?
Vinnie Jones had no class at all. He was a dirty player. Different to a hard tackler who did have class.
Vinnie who?...complete nobody..
I thought Jones was just a shit actor...dont tell me he was a shit footballer as well. I wonder what else he is shit at?
@@michelleedwards6112 hahahaha :0) LOADS of things....!
Smith was a very good player in an excellent team too, not something anyone could accuse Jones of.
Today’s players would need psychiatric help if they played against a 70’s team with players like Tommy. RIP legend.
one of liverpools all time greats perhaps jamie carragher is the only player who gave as much
At least Tommy could actually play football. Vinny was a tube.
Tommy Smith convertin ardiles up in the air at the vetch field for the swans got to be the best ever funny as fuck
Tommy was a hard man but he could play,
Not according to this video.
Slán abhaile Tommy.
R.I.P.
Rip
I SALUTE U SIR
football was much better to watch like this when only a few players dived, now all of them do it, football is becoming a shit sport to watch because it gets stopped ever 2 minutes for fucking free kicks
wimbolden beat Liverpool beacause of attitude...vinnys proof
pool man here
lawrie sszech
Watch the tackle on Gary Stevens he knew what he was doing and who do it to, Cowardly I believe he put Stevens out of football with this Tackle!.
A real football hardman, not a southern ball-grabber...
What ? Just one cap for England but why a player of his caliber ?
Imagine billy bremner vs Tommy smith
Smith hands down
Mick Buckley God bless
Vinnie jones wasnt hard just dirty
Where’s Tommy smiths class
6:16 How are you spelling that? 😂
Hall. Full name Brian Hall.
Midden
Great player, but not as tough as Nobby Stiles. Hence the caps.
Lmaoooo nice joke. No one is scared of that toothless wonder
@@King-cb5kl Not now, no, he's dead. When he played though - he'd have flattened Jones and put him out of the game in five seconds.
90 minutes of play and so few points ever scored.. suggest an overhaul of the sport. The 'objective' point scoring format should be shelved in favour of a 'subjective' adjudication. The goal box is eliminated and instead, a panel of judges assess artistic merit. The positioning of the arms and overall body balance (as foot is put to ball) determine a judge's score card at the end of each half.. ribbons in the colour formations of the respective clubs could be twirled about (as in women's gymnastic floor routines). Commentators would enlighten the viewer as to the significance of the "lovely siwky touch as he's gone on to kick the bawl magnificently". The "action" could be musically interpreted as the fans sing from the terraces..
RIP Tommy Smith. What a legend
