R.I.P. Tommy,you will be missed by a lot of people.

Quite simply the greatest man in the long history of our club.

RIP Tommy Sale.

A legend of the club and the town.

Very sad.

RIP , you will be missed , but not forgotten

Am truly heartbroken, Mr Sale (I never felt comfortable calling him Tommy) was and always will be my hero.

As a former pupil of his I owe all that I am now to the educational foundation he gave me and was proud to tell him so when I asked him to be 'Guest Of Honour' at the NW Counties 13-15s Grand Finals as my small way of saying thank you.

Whilst understanding that, at 97, there was an inevitability that one day this would happen it still came as a shock when I saw the sad news on the BBC News website and am fighting back the tears as I write.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you did for me personally and for your untiring support of our beloved Leigh Rugby League Club .... it was an honour to have known you. RIP Mr Sale you were one in a million and will miss you more than words can say.

On behalf of LISA who Tommy was a member and attended meeting up to recently
It is very sad news today he will never ever be forgotten and we will miss him like mad
I can never forget that day at Batley when he dived Over the line to celebrate us winning the league

RIP Tommy, the 2016 season should be dedicated to his memory and the impact he had on our club and town.

I'll always remember that day too. We should take the Tommy Sale flag and sing a song in tribute to him when we're in that Stand at Mount Pleasant on the 1st league game of the season.

We as leigh fans will never forget what you did for the club throughout your life. Your memory will live on and will never be forgotten. We are a family club and today we all mourn as one.God bless you Tommy. R.I.P

Very sad news. RIP Tommy.

The town of Leigh will be forever grateful for what Mr Sale did for us, sincere condolences to family and friends.

RIP

Very sad news.Thank you Tommy for everything you have done for this club.RIP sir.

Last time we thrashed HKR in the Aviva Cup final at Spotland he did the same.What a guy he was. 41 14. RIP.

So sorry to hear the news of the passing of Mr Tommy Sale he played two seasons for us at ( Widnes) But was a leyther legend God Bless him and sincere sympathy for you ,the club , and his family. R.I.P

A true legend from my childhood Thanks and R.I.P

RIP Tommy from myself and George my Dad .

Tommy was choosing the MOM award at the Leigh School Boys RL final at Hilton Park between Butts CE and St Josephs and Butts CE won. He came up to me and presented me with a small cup which I had in my hands for 1 second before Tommy realised he had made a mistake and gave it to the real MOM, which was John Woods first of many such awards .
I will always remember that incident and thank Tommy for my 1 second of glory, he was and will always be a true legend in the truest sense of the word.

A terribly sad loss of a True Leigh Legend & my sympathy to his family & friends.

I have been wondering if at the Leigh v Wigan 'friendly' we should hold a minutes applause or silence.

RIP Tommy Sale.

I can confirm the RFL have granted a minutes applause at the Wigan game

Perfect.
