| Very sad to hear this news. I've known, and respected Tommy, since I was a young kid, playing with his eldest son, Trevor, and then Ronnie, with whom I worked for a few years. Whilst Tommy may have been 'showing signs of his age' - as he was entitled to, well into his 90's - I felt sure he would live to get the telegram from the Queen. We are going to miss the cheery wave from the Directors' Box, on match days, and the chats about bygone times.
Our heart goes out to Jean, Ronnie and their families, at such a sad time. Your Dad/Grandad will always be fondly remembered.
R.I.P Tommy. I'm so proud and privileged to have known you as a friend.
Alan & Rosemary

Over 50 years of pain,pleasure,frustration,joy,heartache and ecstasy that supporting Leigh has given me but I would not swop it.: |
|
| RIP Tommy from myself and George my Dad .
Tommy was choosing the MOM award at the Leigh School Boys RL final at Hilton Park between Butts CE and St Josephs and Butts CE won. He came up to me and presented me with a small cup which I had in my hands for 1 second before Tommy realised he had made a mistake and gave it to the real MOM, which was John Woods first of many such awards .
I will always remember that incident and thank Tommy for my 1 second of glory, he was and will always be a true legend in the truest sense of the word.

| A terribly sad loss of a True Leigh Legend & my sympathy to his family & friends.
I have been wondering if at the Leigh v Wigan 'friendly' we should hold a minutes applause or silence.
RIP Tommy Sale.
