SPORT – The Best of Sir Tom Finney

The civic funeral of Sir Tom Finney is taking place at Preston Minster today, after the former England and Preston North End winger sadly passed away on 14 February, at the grand age of 91.

Thousands of mourners applauded his cortege as it passed Deepdale stadium and travelled through the city. The service is being attended by over 600 people, including Finney’s former England team-mate Sir Bobby Charlton. Many fans are watching the service live on the big screen within Deepdale.

The iconic footballer made more than 400 league appearances for Preston North End between 1946 and 1960 and won 76 caps for England. We take a moment to look back on a few of our favourite photos of Finney from his football days…
