Punce Posted September 20, 2023 Author Share Posted September 20, 2023 So Jimmy Thompson jr left at the end of the 59 season. Listed as a "Wing Half" I am sure someone will remember him. I recall some of his team mates: John Bazley Peter Pheonix Bill Spurdle Peter Stringfellow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby and Bert Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 Jimmy Thompson was sold to Exeter for £5000 plus we got their midfielder Ray John. He didn't last to long. Jimmy played at number 6. Always took the pens. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
