    Alan Thompson was a fantastic footballer. A key member of one of the best Celtic teams of all time. The 2003/ 04 team was different class.

    Thompson was my favourite player. I loved Larrson but Thompson's battles in the middle of the park and his goals against the huns were memorable. The stories about Ricksen and the pitbull turning up to his door and the fireworks through the letterbox were fab. Thommo Legend.
