Didn't Jimmy Mac always say that TF was his most difficult opponent?

I remember a televised interview with Bill Shankly when he said that Tom Finney was the best footballer he had played with and against, if I recall that correctly. I believe I also read a Shankly autobiography where he said the same.

I’ve just read the following on PNE-Online:

“One of the 10 biggest games in my 55 years following Preston”

Has there been a starker realisation of how different our trajectories have been than that!!!
