I mention Kenilworth Road as Luton Town were Preston North End's opponents
for Sir Tom Finney's last ever match in the football league when both teams
played in the top flight of English football. How times have changed.
Yes, times have changed..Money for one thing..When Sir Tom Finny retired, he carried on his life with a plumbing business.

Now a player carrying on as Long as Sir Tom Finny, are able to retire to places permanently in the sun. But IMO football was better in the era you mention.
