Tommy Wright

[alan ball]

I am hearing the sad news that one of our greatest right backs Tommy Wright has passed away. He served his club magnificently, also his country. God bless you Tommy.

….so sad, watched him lots such a talented RB for Everton and England. Another piece of my past gone but never forgotten, 374 games in a one-club career, Tommy Wright will always be one of ours.

Played footy for years with his youngest lad, who was a very talented footy player too, but couldn’t be arsed with academies and all that - centre forward.

Tommy used to get him up for us on Sunday mornings, when he’d been out on the ale and wouldn’t get up

Never saw Tommy play but like above, he was a hero of my dad's and I've heard his tales many many times. Proper Evertonian.
Met Tommy numerous times over the years, always had time for a natter. He used to tell me off as a kid for calling him Mr Wright, 'It's Tommy lad just Tommy, like you and your dad'
Always the Gentleman.
A wonderful man.

RIP Tommy 🕊
