BlueLion. 21,491 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 http://www.chelseafc.com/page/LatestNews/0...1511948,00.html The goalkeeper of the team that first brought the title to Stamford Bridge. Obviously not a player who I can remember but my dad assures me he was a brilliant goalkeeper. Only played a handful of games but still an important member of the squad and part of Chelsea history.

Elliott 7 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 RIP to a man I've never heard of but no doubt is a legend. Is your dad really that old Alex? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted January 7, 2009 Author Share Posted January 7, 2009 My dad is 56, born in 1952, and remembers Thompson being at the club around 1957 when he started going to watch them regularly with his dad before him. I don't think he actually remembers that period of his life, but he was certainly supporting the Chelsea cause at the time. I'll get him to come on tomorrow and talk about the old times again.
