David Thompson

[Colemere]

Has retired from football due to a knee injury

[Shaggy]

Sadly inevitable. It’s been one unsuccessful free transfer after another for him lately.

A good player who, IMO, never fully realised his potential. I remember, after beating Sheffield Wednesday 4-1, having a debate with some mates over who had the most potential – Thompson or Gerrard.

Just out of interest, who came out on top?

[BobTheCharmer]

Had a lot of time for Thommo. Could never understand the point of shipping him out for Barmby.

Scored some beauties for Coventy.

Gerrard, 3-1.

The lad who thought Thompson was better I’ve mentioned on here before – he reckons Carson is better than Reina, reckons Voronin is our best striker amd chanted Benitez out at Blackburn.

Gerrard, 3-1.

Dude knows his football, obviously.

[REDSCOUSER]

He was a good player but not quites LFC material. Good luck Tommo.

Is it the same one who reckons his mum invented crisps or something?

That was Red Chilli

Oh yeah - sorry.

[Joe King]

He wants to become a coach. Sammy Lee and Thommo return?

[garymac]

Shame...

Remember watching him away at Sunderland a few years ago and he turned their full-back inside out.

Best of luck to him.

When they both broke through from the academy I did think that Thompson was a better player to have in the team - he was a nippy little ankle biter with a good shot on him.
But once Gerrard got a bit bigger and stronger you quickly saw he was going to equal Keane and Viera.

I've got some vague memories of Thommo coming on as a sub at Woodison and immediately executing a fantastically horrendous tackle!

shame - he had the potential and loved getting stuck in and i thought it was wrong to sell him at a time when our midfield could be a bit limp in the tackle - i always prefered him over danny murphy.

Random bit of trivia - he lived not far from me and his brother used to work for my dad. They had a company football match for charity - office/sales/managers vs factory/shop floor staff - although i don't remember much about it, i came on for about 5 mins when i was about 9/10 so i could play on the same pitch/game as my dad - apparently david thompson was also playing as his brother brought him along. - So i once played against david thompson, good lad
