By Tom Hayward LONDON, Feb 15 (Reuters) – The late Tom Finney was the Lionel Messi of his day, said former Preston North End team mate Tommy Docherty on Saturday as he led the tributes to the England great. “Tom was something else, the Lionel Messi of his day,” former Scotland manager Docherty told Talksport Radio, referring to the Argentina and Barcelona forward who won the World Player of the Year award in 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012. I never heard him criticise anyone.” Finney was so popular at Preston, his only club, that if he was sidelined the attendances at Deepdale would invariably plummet. “If Tom was injured they wouldn’t tell you the team at all,” added former Manchester United and Chelsea manager Docherty.
