Comfortably numb Posted yesterday at 09:05 Posted yesterday at 09:05 I would be around 14 at the time and lived on Revidge Rd. There were many, many times I would walk to Ewood from home and wait outside the players entrance just to see Tony Field and get his autograph.. He never refused, must have got his signature a dozen times. God bless Tony and thank you 4 1 Quote

Roversider Posted yesterday at 09:59 Posted yesterday at 09:59 I think Rovers paid £18k for his transfer from Southport, he was brilliant to watch. The only time I remember his goals drying up was when John O'Mara joined and for a while, concentrated on being a provider and O'Mara scored freely. That didn't last and Tony (I suspect contrary to coaches directions) reverted to his entertaining, direct style. O'Mara stopped scoring but Tony was back in the limelight.Sad to see him leave to join Furphy at Sheffield but glad to see him gracing the same pitch as Pele.How do you compare him to current players? You can't, I just wish we had him back in his pomp today. 1 Quote

Penwortham Blue Posted yesterday at 10:53 Posted yesterday at 10:53 Up there with my favourite players of all time and certainly the one who captured the imagination during my very earliest visits to Ewood. God bless Tony Field, RIP 1 1 Quote

It just sums up what the game is all about -providing joy - and sort of typifies everything we've had taken away from us over the last 15 years and particularly over the last two or three. 3 Quote
