Top bloke Tony! 🤩⚒️🫧

[@pjoseph5950]

This should have far more views!

[@TheWorldClassStamp]

Tony was brilliant, It's probably our best camera shot of a guest as well to date as the natural lighting was perfect and he has a lovely mini bar/ gaff! 🍸 ☀️ 🙌

[@stephenhancox9722]

Quality striker in his day, over 200 top flight goals and only a handful of England caps.

[@burnaardnufc3173]

Lethal striker. Not as many number 9s around today. Clubs would be fighting over him these days.

[@TheWorldClassStamp]

Fox in the box strikers are very rare these days, how much do you think he would be worth in today’s transfer market? He went for £2.2m in 1988

[@bigbernie7260]

The age of Cottee and he has still got that awful dyed barnet.
