Average in build but deceptively agile, strong, and powerful, his ambidextrous footwork made him a continuous threat at center-forward. Although his club years went unnoticed, his true talents shone on the national team. The ''Preston Plumber'' once held a record of 30 goals in 76 caps and played 433 league games for Preston scoring 187 goals, He was also voted the Footballer of the Year in both 1954 and 57. Yet it was not statistics that made Tom Finney great. It was his skill and style. It was also the substance he brought with it. Finney was no show pony, there was a point to everything he did on a football field. Unlike others of similar ability, and many of less, he never kept possession if a colleague was better placed. Finney realised his job was to get the ball in the oppositions' goal, either by assisting a teammate or by putting it there himself. As a youth Finney had been extremely small and had at first been rejected by Preston on the grounds of his size. His response was to train exhaustively to build his physique and hone his skills. Naturally left footed Finney practised with his right so much that he came to trust it more completely than his left. Despite looking frail Finney became as strong as an ox, was good in the air and could handle himself in a tackle. His shooting was powerful and he also had an eye for goal. Above all else though Tom Finney was a consumate dribbler. He could go past a defender simply with sheer pace, he could defeat them with a shuffle of his dancing feet or he could leave them hopelessly off balance with a drop of his shoulder. Whichever method he chose the defender generally struggled for an answer.
