I ponder whether footballers who earn millions regard themselves as fortunate. Regrettably, Tommy Lawton was born too early to receive the earnings he merited. Despite this, he was an exceptional player.

In his twilight years, he should have been treated like royalty. If he were still with us today, things might have been vastly different. It’s a thought that makes one reflect on the changing times in football.

    its sad what happened in his later years, such a difficult time to live as well. i doubt professional players care or think about stars who earned little its part of why you cant relate to some of them regardless of their talent. whereas you can with players like tommy lawton.

    It’s truly tragic what happened to Tommy Lawton in his later years. However, his footballing accomplishments and earlier life weren’t all bad. It’s just heart-wrenching that he passed away without any family around.
