Never seen 'gogglebox' and therefore have no idea who this Leon was but looks as if he was well thought of. Always sad to hear of a blue passing away. R.I.P. Leon.

The Xmas special is on in 10 mins.
Channel 4.
Hope Leon was on form.

Much loved guy. Was the @Morag ‘s teacher.

Can honestly say I've never seen Gogglebox and had no idea who he was but ive seen so many people mention Leon over the last few days, including reds on Facebook he must of been a top bloke, RIP Leon

Never heard of him, but I bet he hated phoning up call centres.

Just posted this to the Liverpool thread. He was before my time, but that coincidental BBC interview from 2015 still puts a smile on my face. RIP Tommy.

The Flying Pig, will fly no more !

RIP Tommy Lawrence.

Fondly remembered from when ďerby matches lacked the poison that is permeating the present.
Also his time at Tranmere.
The original flying pig flies no more.
RIP.

Tommy 'the flying pig' Lawrence.
For me, as others have also alluded to, he epitomised a time when derby days were full of good humoured rivalry rather than bile and venom. Loved the 'accidental' BBC interview from 2015. What a lovely, unassuming and humble man.
RIP Tommy

Just noticed this one, absolutely concur with everything on here that has been previously said. 'The flying pig' I'm sure Tommy would have found that an amusing nickname, great memories of him and how good was that interview in the street with him certainly seemed a decent guy, RIP big fella thanks for the memories.
