Apologies for being late.

A proper football man.

Rest in peace Tom and condolences to the family.

There's been some great stuff about this fella posted in various places this last few days. Sounds like he was a pretty amazing fella. Rest in peace, and thoughts with his friends and family, but you'd hope they'd have some great memories. :)

Thank you Graham for what you have done especially for Tom this year, and also what you continue to do year on year for the Friendship Visit.  A true Band of Brothers.  Deeply grateful.   :wave

Well done Graham.  Delighted to hear that.  You are the keeper of the flame for Tom.  Staunch and true.  Just like him.

 @ Alanslad, Here's a picture of the Tom Smith flag as you requested - this was taken in 2014 two months after Tom's sudden death.
