Playing career

Thompson started his career with Liverpool and broke the club record for being the youngest player to appear for Liverpool, when he made his debut against Tottenham Hotspur on 8 May 1974, at the age of 17 years and 128 days. However that was to be his only league game for the club. His record was broken by Jack Robinson, who made his debut for Liverpool at the age of 16.

He joined Blackpool in 1977 and played close to 100 games for the club within his four years there. He signed with Swansea City in 1981 and played 26 league games before moving on to Bournemouth two years later. He joined Port Vale in November 1983, but returned to Bournemouth the next month.[1]

He later played for clubs for American side Baltimore Blast, Portuguese Coimbra, Northwich Victoria, Caernarfon Town, Fleetwood, Newport County, Swedish Kramfors and Southport.[1]

Post-retirement

Thompson became the manager of Knowsley United before becoming the physiotherapist at Liverpool and then Southport.[1]
