	Tommy Lawton - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tommy Lawton (October 6, 1919 - November 6, 1996) was an English association footballer.
		Born in Bolton, Lawton's precocious talent won him a trial for the England schoolboy team in which he scored a hat trick but this never led to a junior cap.
		In 2003 Lawton was inducted into the English Football Hall of Fame in recognition of his talents.

		It was in 1934, ironically at Anfield, that a 15-year-old Tommy Lawton shot to prominence when playing for the youth team of his home-town club Bolton Wanderers.
		However, Lawton's grandfather was a shrewd man. He was mindful that the legendary Everton striker Bill "Dixie" Dean was approaching the end of his career at the club, and that there was probably none better to hone the prodigious talents of his grandson.
		Lawton, still only 19, was generally acknowledged as the star in a team full of stars such as Ted Sagar, Joe Mercer and Tommy G Jones, which was, according to many experts, the finest ever seen in England.

	Tommy Lawton
		Tommy was soon a target for the bigger clubs and on New Years Eve 1936, Everton bought him for £6,500 - a sensational fee in those days, especially for a 17 year old.
		Tommy's awesome power in the air combined with Jackie's fleet of foot brought goals flooding in and shattered attendance records though thanks to a poor start they only finished sixth in the table.
		Tommy returned to Meadow Lane for a third time in October 1968 as the club's chief scout but 15 months later on the appointment of Jimmy Sirrel as manager, the scouting system was re-arranged and the post of chief scout became redundant.

	Best Header of the ball? - Griffinpark.org
		Tommy Lawton (died last year) was reputed to be maybe the best header of the football in the history of the game in England.
		Lawton probably wins hands down, but Peter Gelson was always very solid in the air, both clearing from defence and scoring, and John O'Mara was extremely dangerous, scoring bags of goals from corners.
		Tommy Lawton was in a class of his own being able to head the ball harder than many could kick it.

		Tommy was always there holding court with a pint and whisky chaser.
