Sad news. One of my favourites back in 63/64.

Bullet boots. One of the hardest shots I've seen playing for us.

30 yarder in the 1-0 win v Hartlepool. Got a picture of him taking a penalty v Darlo. With my Brownie 127 camera.Joe O'Neil ex Stoke keeper tipped it on to the bar, Tony followed up to score.

Rest in peace big man.🏐

Only got told today. Mike Davock who went to Poole with him has also died. Sad times.
