In March 2009 Preston City Council held a 'Sir Tom Finney Day' with special events and tributes to the life and career of one of Preston's finest. As a new volunteer with Preston FM, still a bit new to radio and 'wet behind the ears', I made a one hour show about his life based on the book 'Tom Finney; My Autobiography' which I had just enjoyed reading.
This show talks about his childhood, his beginnings with PNE, his war experiences and looks also at his later life and career. There is music linked to certain important dates in his life. Included in the show are some podcasts made by pupils at Broughton C of E primary as part of a Sir Tom Finney Day project. With the sad news of his death on February 14th 2014 this seems a good time to share this affectionate tribute once again. Hope you enjoy.
DON"T FORGET THAT THE JINGLES/OTHER SHOWS MENTIONED/PROMOS ARE 5 YEARS OUT OF DATE!!!
