Very sad news reaches us that former Toon player and Northern Ireland International Tommy Cassidy haz passed away!
Tommy played 239 times for us for 10 years in the 1970s to 1980 and played in both the FA Cup final in 1974 and the Leegue Cup final in 1976 at Wembley.
He scored 28 goals in total between 1970 and 1980 and played az a forward and then az a midfielder
I used to have a bit 'crack' with him when he drank in 'The Monkey Bar' in The Toon and once showed him my 'Geordie Times' story of him when he scored the winnin goal at Derby Coonty 52 years ago in 1972
(Ground number 023 Baseball Ground, Derby) (see story below!)
Sadly Tommy had dementia and haz died at the age of 73
RIP TOMMY! Lost but never to be forgotten!
