Sir Tom Finney was one of England's greatest ever footballers. This exhibition pays tribute to the footballing genius of Sir Tom, who played for Preston North End for his entire career. Objects, film, memories and rarely seen photographs tell the personal and professional story of the man who makes an impact on everyone he meets. Described by Bobby Moore as 'the last great England winger' and by Sir Alex Ferguson as 'a wonderful person and so humble', the exhibition will appeal to football fans everywhere. Look out for lots of events running alongside the exhibition including personal appearances by Sir Tom Finney.
