Tommy Smith's proudest moment as a Red shows how much he loved Liverpool
Former Reds defender Jamie Carragher shared a tribute on social media and also spoke highly of Smith ahead of Sky Sports' coverage of the game between Leicester City and Newcastle United, where he said:
“An amazing man and player, the ‘Anfield iron’ as he was christened by Bill Shankly. The word legend is used a lot, certainly at Liverpool Football Club. When you think of that word legend, it’s Tommy Smith.
"The reason being, with people like him, who brought the first ever FA Cup back to Liverpool, the first European Cup in Rome, he scored in that game. They’re the proper legends, there’s been a lot of great players at Liverpool, in the history of the club, but you go back to that word legend and no matter what comes after, what has come before, there will never be another Tommy Smith."
Carragher's words were among the many flooding in from the world of football, with Liverpool CEO Peter Moore, former Everton goalkeeper Neville Southall and a host of other Liverpool players also paying tribute.
