Very sad news. First watched him play centre at the first game at Charles Street in 1946, with Pete Riley, Jimmy Rowe,Harry Todd, Cayzer et al. Great player, great clubman. The best of men. My deepest sympathy to you and your family

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

[quote="OFFTHECUFF":1xb0p6sn] Wish i could watch a team like Leigh.  [/quote:1xb0p6sn]
[quote="Steve":1xb0p6sn] Dislike Leigh with a passion, but they are a million miles ahead of any other club in this league, a sad fact. [/quote:1xb0p6sn]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_24148.jpg |

A legend of the club and the town.

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

RIP , you will be missed , but not forgotten

Am truly heartbroken, Mr Sale (I never felt comfortable calling him Tommy) was and always will be my hero.
As a former pupil of his I owe all that I am now to the educational foundation he gave me and was proud to tell him so when I asked him to be 'Guest Of Honour' at the NW Counties 13-15s Grand Finals as my small way of saying thank you.
Whilst understanding that, at 97, there was an inevitability that one day this would happen it still came as a shock when I saw the sad news on the BBC News website and am fighting back the tears as I write.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you did for me personally and for your untiring support of our beloved Leigh Rugby League Club .... it was an honour to have known you. RIP Mr Sale you were one in a million and will miss you more than words can say.
