Former Liverpool and England winger Peter Thompson has passed away aged 76. He was a mainstay in Bill Shankly's team signing for £37,000 from Preston. ( today's value £50 million)? He was one of the most gifted players of his generation. Shankly once said of him, " If he had scored goals as well as everything else he did, he would be in the same category as Jesus Christ.!" Exaggeration yes, but there are plenty of Liverpools other stalwarts who could well agree.
