Career
Tommy rose through his career playing for the "Lillywhites" to become one of the most skillfull inside-forwards of his day. Nicknamed "Harmer the Charmer", he signed as an amateur in August 1948 and made his debut against Bolton in September, 1951. He made 222 appearances for Tottenham Hotspur scoring 51 goals including some sublime unstoppable penalties, tucked into the side netting behind an upright, before moving to Watford in October 1960.
Harmer signed for Chelsea in 1962 at the age of 34 and made his debut at home to Middlesbrough in October of that year.
Harmer also played an important role in developing young players during the Docherty era, remaining as youth team coach until June 1967.
