Career

Thompson played for Bathgate, Oldham Athletic, Manchester City, Stalybridge Celtic and Ashton National Gas, before joining Port Vale in January 1923.[1] He scored his first goal for the club on 3 February, in a 2–0 win over Blackpool at The Old Recreation Ground.[1] He also claimed goals against Derby County and Southampton to take his tally for the club to three goals in eight Second Division games.[1] Despite this, he was released at the end of the season.[1] He moved on to Blackpool in 1923 and made his debut for Major Frank Buckley's team on 8 September, in a 2–2 draw with Stoke City at the Victoria Ground. He appeared in the five league games that followed, scoring one goal — in a 2–2 draw at Sheffield Wednesday on 6 October.[3] Shortly afterwards, he joined Accrington Stanley, before going on to play for Swindon Town, Crewe Alexandra, Hurst and Wilson's Brewery.
