A goalkeeper with a flair for shot-stopping, he can kick the ball with either foot. Due to his muscular physique he has been given the nickname "the Tank".
"Stuart's a great lad who works really hard in training... he's got a great physique and commands his box very well. Keepers can always make mistakes, but he made very few for us. He's not got a weak point in his game. He's a good all-round keeper, which is why we were lucky to get him last summer." —Barrow manager David Bayliss upon losing Tomlinson to Port Vale in June 2010.Read more about this topic: Stuart Tomlinson

—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
