Tom was playing for Hull on the 28th December 2013 against Fulham at the KC Stadium when the Tigers notched up a 6-0 victory, one goal scored by Tom thus ending a 32 month drought.
His previous goal against the Gunners in a 3-3 draw and "haircut" was back in April 2011, when he decided he would not have a barber's visit until he scored again.
He thought that he had scored against Liverpool a month earlier but the "Dubious goals" committee decided it had been deflected in by Martin Skrtel.
All money raised would go to charity, so when he scored, on his 27th birthday, he also sold on E-Bay, fetching £6,300, a lock snipped off by the club physio, Rob Price, immediately after the game, which boosted his charity fund.
The event was then followed by a very publicised haircut by London "hair designer" Lance Lowe who travelled north for the occasion. The Afro went Mohican!! Overall the Charity Cancer Research UK benefitted by more than £57,000.
It was a miracle that he raised any money at all, based on his past goal scoring record.
He played 88 times for Derby first up and scored NO goals;
he then went to Spurs 144 apps-8 goals,
Wolves 13-1
Hull 135-6
Derby 49-2
England (u16-u21) 53-5 goals!
and finally 4 full internationals and NIL GOALS.
