Thompson suffered horrendous injuries in a car crash during his youth team days at Newcastle United but showed remarkable determination and resilience to fulfill his dream of playing for his home town team.
Unfortunately, he was deemed surplus to requirements under Kevin Keegan's revolution but went on to enjoy richly-deserved success at Bolton Wanderers and Celtic.
After a loan spell, Thompson joined Leeds United in August 2007 with a one-year contract.
