Tommy appeared in 5 games in the 1919-20 FA Cup campaign including the final at Stamford Bridge where Villa beat Huddersfield Town through an extra time goal from Billy Kirton.
Tommy had played his entire Villa career under the George Ramsay led Management Committee and like many footballers of his generation his career was interrupted by WW1.
Unlike others however, Tommy not only survived the hostilities but went on to have a footballing career equal to that of his pre-war days despite having lost 4 seasons in his prime.
Tommy made his final appearance for Villa on 11th March 1922 before moving on to newly promoted Stoke in August 1922 however he would retire from football soon after.
Tommy passed away in Stourbridge in 1952 aged 62.
