‘Big Tom doesn’t play here anymore’: Longford bids farewell to the greatest of Shams

Longford came out in force on Sunday to bid farewell to a favourite son. Had it not been for Covid-19 they were estimating that as many as 5,000 would descend on St Mel’s Cathedral.
But it was probably the measure of a man who won the hearts of a county that they still came out, and in line with public health guidelines, positioned themselves on every street corner as the greatest of Shams made his final journey.
It was a simply extraordinary show of affection for a man who captured the hearts of a county.
If the weather is inclement then the ceremony will be moved inside to the high school auditorium.
Due to COVID-19 last year and the shutdown of all schools in Pennsylvania on March 13, 2020, the Wall of Fame ceremony was not held. This year the Wall of Fame Committee decided to combine the 2020 and 2021 ceremonies to honor all three inductees.
