Is Tommy the last of the '58 FA Cup winning side?

I think he may be.

Casino was there for his debut so it would be fitting to have them together on the pitch

I'll have a couple of Tommy Banks to celebrate

[FrancisFogarty]

Tommy is my mums cousin I think. His mum was my grans sister. They used to live opposite the church on George Street. The actual church, not the pub. We went to their house loads of times. Unfortunately I don't remember him from there, but he used to go in the Market St. Tavern in Stoneclough, the Bradford Arms and Social Circle cricket club on Piggott Street.

He found out that we were (sort of) related and called me Charlton when I saw him. Charlton is my mums maiden name, and my grans married name.

Fair enough. In the mid 90s I once went to an old Wanderers players house. Not on Oxford Rd but around that area. To my shame I can't remember who it was.

I think he's always lived in Farnwoth. May be Ralph you're thinking of. 

A couple of years ago Tommy went arse over tit near Blackleach rescuing his dog. Finished up being rescued himself.

On Wiki it appears Brian Birch may still be alive.
