Peter Thompson

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

Died. Literally my Dad’s favourite player, and what a player. RIP.

[Creator Supreme]

Bollocks, what a player he was, my old fella still speaks highly of him, RIP

[VladimirIlyich]

Shit. Loved him and then his successor Stevie Heighway.  Sad to hear.

[an tha]

Too young to have seen him play live but from what i have seen and what my arl fella says he deserves a place as a Liverpool legend.

 

RIP

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

All the great . 

Why beat a full back once when you can beat hem three or four times ?

[Anubis]

He owned a garage at the bottom of the road we lived in as a kid. Sad news.

Yep, usually with an end product.

A truly gifted footballer. Could infuriate with his desire to beat an opponent more than once before delivering a ball but an absolute joy to watch when he was on song, which he was frequently. His goal at Villa Park in the 1965 semi final was a thing of beauty. I remember a game against Wet Ham when it seemed that the whole Hammers defence decided the only way to stop him was to take turns at kicking him. Even the 'immaculate' Bobby Moore swung at fresh air and was left on his arse by Tommo.

 

A great player in a great team. This getting old thing isn't all it's cracked up to be; you not only lose your youth you also lose your heroes. Turn those angels inside out, Peter!

Really sad new about a great player. Used to love watching him and Cally tearing up defences.  Never stopped working and never hid. 

[magicrat]

Sad news. Him and Cally down the wings were legends,

After Roger Hunt , ‘ Pea-whack’ Thompson was probably my fave player as a youngster. 

 

As somebody alluded to , he owned some petrol garages ( with Gordon Wallace I think ) including one on Everton Valley. Can’t imagine any modern England internationals needing to work after they retire.

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

Went on to become a Publican, I can just see some of today’s lot running a pub.

[Moctezuma]

My dad's favourite player, an exceptional part of that Shankley side.

 

Hope he passed peacefully and his family are doing well.

[Red Hot]

R.I.P. Peter, great player for us. 

[Baltar]

Legend. RIP.

More often than not.....One of the most skilful players this club has produced.. Also at a time when if you did take the piss out of a fullback he'd make you pay for it..If he could

It was compulsory when they retired back then. Today they give them a microphone and are paid to chat shite

Just coming to the end of his career when I started watching the reds great player and winger RIP Peter

Met my uncle coming back from getting his paper one morning in the summer of 63 and he told me, 'We're gonna win the league this year. We've just signed Peter Thompson'. How right he was. Great player, pacy, bag of tricks and always worth watching. I always remember some fella in the crowd shouting out, 'show him yer arse, Thommo', whenever he had a full back lined up.

[halewood pete]

Very sad news.A great player.R.I. P.

It sounds like most of them were in the pub beforehand.
