ALAN THOMPSON retireds age 34 after 17 years 551 appearances and 107 goals and the first at the reebok

in the top division, he had about 8 good games

 

Which is more than the majority of our midfield had last season.

 

Over-rated or not he did some good things for us and was part of us stepping up a gear as a team and club

He got sent off playing for England under 21's for nutting some foriegner, I reckon he was black balled by the suits at the F.A. after that, I had a good few bevvies with him, did turn into a bit of a lad when he'd had a few adult beverages, remember when Tommo, Aiden Davidson, and Brownie, smashed up that bar in Manchester......3 pissed up Geordies taking on all commers.........

 

Was that when Davidson threw a barstool through a window?

I remember standing on the terraces at Burnley when we played them in a pre season friendly in 1993.

 

That was Thommo's first game for us and he scored a scorching left footer straight into the top corner which almost took the net out.

Was in Mcginlays once after a game and he was in with a few other players.

Got them to sign the back of my shirt.

When I woke up next day and looked at the shirt, he had drawn a cock.

 

Cheers mate !!

 

Great player though.

 

I was with you Marple, all the players there were great apart from Tommo who I thought was a tosser.

Bearing in mind though we were totally pi**ed.

Think we had played Burnley last game and Philliskirk scored for them.

A few of the players were annoyed that they had been booed.
