Tom Brookes (SligoTom)

[UK Redsox]

Lower Trinity Road Stand legend and my friend of many years, Tom Brookes, died this morning at the age of 80.

Tom was a Villa season ticket holder for decades, even during the years when he lived in the the west of Ireland (hence his user name for occasional posts on H & V) and flew over for games.

Tom was also at most away games for many years, including European matches and pre-season tours

In recent years, Tom and his wife Val became regulars for Villa Women home games.

As well as Villa, Tom was a lifelong supporter of Celtic and Scotland.

I’ll miss my chats with Tom.

R.I.P. old friend.

I sent you a message on here, because I don’t have your number.

Is there anyone else from our area who knew Tom well ?
