It's most unusual...
Sir Tom was blacklisted from the tiny South Wales town of Fochriw in 1963, after being accused of stealing a chicken, which was intended as a raffle prize at one of his gigs.
Fochriw resident Len Davies, now aged 80, remembers the incident:
"There was a fight and then the chicken had gone. Tom got the blame – but nobody really knows..."
