RIP Tommy, what a fckin legend he is and was and the first goalie I saw standing between the sticks for us Kop-end.
He's one of the main people I've got to thank for being a red. Although I was born and grew up in Liverpool, my parents were both from Glasgow, so being a red or blue wasn't something to be passed down to me, I got to choose. I can still remember sitting round a table in Infant 3 (aged 7 ?) getting pressured into choosing, reds or blues - the clincher was a boy called Peter Thompson ( yes, really
) telling me that Shanks, St John, Yeats and Lawrence were all scots and good reds, so as a son of scots parents so should I be. Thank fuck for Peter Thompson !
RIP Tommy Lawrence
