Retirement
When Farm finally retired from football in 1974, he and his wife enjoyed a quiet life in Edinburgh. He was known in his later years as a commentator and journalist, but also spent a short spell as a lighthouse keeper.
In 1988, Farm returned to Bloomfield Road to take part in Blackpool F.C.'s celebrations to mark the Football League's centenary.
Farm died in the city of his birth in 2004, five days after his 80th birthday.
