Exclusive interview with Peter Thompson

[LFCHistory]

Peter Thompson was an amazing right-footed left winger, who tormented full-backs. Rarely has a footballer with as much natural ability worn the shirt of Liverpool and he is in a class only reserved for a select few. Liverpool was envied by other teams for possessing such a powerful pairing on opposing flanks as Thompson and Callaghan. Thompson went straight into the first team and played in all 42 League games as Liverpool won the title by four points. He won another championship medal in 1966 as well being part of the first Liverpool team to win the FA Cup the year before.

 

When asked if we were ready to take a 550-mile round trip to spend a couple of hours with Peter Thompson in Kent, we said instantly 'Yes, we are going all-in.' Off we drove from Bootle and the great winger didn't disappoint.

Thompson, a great player out on the wing. Not certain he gets the recognition he deserves.

 

A great read too.

Great read. Seems like a bit of a personality too. I'd heard about his rep with the players for beating his man twice and I remember him coming on in the 71final and the odd early 70's cameo appearance. The rest is just what my dad told me and he's always maintained that Thompson was up there with the most skilful players the country has ever seen yet never seemed to get the recognition. Not as much as the glams down the East Lancs anyway.
