Like you forgot your youth club was a paedophile ring
A fantastic player, so glad we had him at Celtic, always gave %100 and scored some brilliant goals and vital goals, one of the greats.
Alan Thompson was responsible for many a brutal hangover especially after the big games, what a player. Great man 🍀🍀
Another absolutely superb interview, Big Tommo deserved a hell of a lot more England call ups, he was an absolute baller of a left sided player.
Thank you
Totally agree 👍 100per cent 👌 👏 cant remember the season anyway doesn't matter what season you're bang on but everyone one was saying Allan T deserves to be in the England squad for world cup don't know if poor guy was even scouted as in looked at that particular season he had a blinder of a season n it was world cup year but nothing poor guy woulda done a job for England ano we hate most the W⚓R,S. But aye sht what happened to big allan Thomson
What a class you where part of Allan Thompson and some of your goals 👏 🙌 👌 👍 Martin Oneill era. 👏 🙌
C.O.Y.B.I.G Y.N.W.A TOI C FAIDH AR LA HAIL HAIL.
That was absolutely Brilliant lads. Alan Thompson one of Celtic’s greats. Being a Gers fan for over 60 years I had the pleasure of seeing a couple of old firm matches that Alan played in when I was visiting family in Glasgow 👍👍⚽️🇨🇦
Thank you
Fair play Jack
I’m a Timmy, so great to see he’s respected by others.
Alan was my favourite celtic player growing up, freekicks and long range bangers constantly.
Well done Alan great player no one could have drink today in football all changed boring 😴
Mind the last minute winner against them
What a player. I was always amazed at how he could strike across the ball the way he did. ☘️
yep me too !
@JM #7 RACING yep ! more of a wand than a leg !be well!
Loved this! A true Celtic hero 💯💚 always spoke about in our home defo part of the Celtic family and spot on with Martin O’Neil love it thanks for the memories Alan and brilliant interview so glad found this new sub 🥰💚
1 of my favourite Celtic players for sure scored so many important Goals and is loved by all Celts including myself fantastic player great podcast ☘️
Thank you 🙏
Used to love Thompson’s battles with Rickson, r.i.p. 💚 Some left foot & what a player. Hail hail 💚🍀
What an great player, i used to be mesmerised by his ball control before kick off with keepyups and his passing. Incredible.
👌
Definitely a Celtic legend and such a nice down to earth man. Thanks for all the good memories Alan. HH🍀
Another great interview. When I saw the length of the video I wasn’t looking forward to watching it. I couldn’t stop watching once I’d started. Really enjoying the honesty and openness of every guest you’ve had on.
Thank you
Another great interview John and another one of my heroes Tommo was a sensational player at Celtic, he'll long be remembered as a player who gave his all for the team even if sometimes it led to him being sent off. He had a wand of a left foot and he scored a lot of important goals for Celtic just when we needed them. It's good to see him looking so good and I wish him a long and happy retirement, God bless him and his family.
As a rangers fan I used to really dislike Thompson but after this changed my mind… top bloke and a great stories
Thank you 🙏
Legend at Celtic. Never forgotten. 🍀
Bloody brilliant! Even as a life long follower of football, I hadn't realised just how amazing Thommo's career had been! What a lad, and seems properly down to earth too. 👌
Boom bazza
Fantastic Celtic player, loved that he got a stint in the management team as well.
Thomo is an absolute star. He scored some fabulous and important goals at Celtic 👍
In a team full of legends thomo was still who I pretended to be when I was a wee guy playing football in the garden… hero 🍀
Alan Thompson was my stand out hero during the Larrson, Sutton and Hartson years,One of Celtics most underrated players of all time,A genius, Plus he loved pumping the Huns, LOVED HIM 👌👊💥☘️
Love this series, just class 👍👍👍
Thank you
Loved this great insight into what goes on behind the scenes. Well done.
Thank you
Celtic fan, so thouroughly enjoyed that. Thommo was a cracking player for us and scored some belting goals. A wand of a left foot and knew how to mix it as well.
Another quality episode, absolutely loving this, can't wait for the next.👌👍😁
Thank you
superb. watched the whole lot.from a celtic fan, thanks mate ,brilliant player, great coach. as a side note, met you and sutty in the garage london rd, and you signed my garage receipt, cheers for that too. lol.
Great interview, really enjoyed that gents, Alan Thompson seems a great bloke and was a cracking player
Another great video, really enjoying this type of golf/interview 👍🏻
Thank you
I was in amongst the Arsenal fans (Highbury) when Alan scored a peach of a free kick in Tony Adams testimonial, sometimes you forget where you are in these moments, nearly got a kickin.
You do
Sincerely lads thank you tomo is a legend, great watch/listen keep up the good work 👏🍀
Thank you
Another cracking blog loving the series brilliant mate 👏
Thank you
He was just as important as Sutton, Larsson and Lennon, a true legend
Was quite young when he arrived at villa Park. Was excited though as was really getting into football at the time, he'd been Boltons best player and was one of the main reasons why they were going good then. I was just waiting and waiting for the game he got really going for the villa but it just wasn't happening...the older family fans were very expectant aswell because as he proved when going to celtic, he was a quality football player. Sad we didn't get to see the best Alan Thompson as we had a good side then, could have been awesome. Anyway, it never worked out but it's good to hear from his perspective and obviously he's gone on to be the best he could with celtic. Perhaps could and should have been utilised more by England too. Still, good player that I wish would have been better for the villa. Good interview and good memories of my youth and being a young villan. 👍
Thank you
Hoops on, out came a true celt, appreciate the memories Tommo, All the best HH
Love these series - thanks gents - top notch
Thank you
Brilliant to hear the stories the insights , how you don't have choice sometimes what happens to you as a player . Just a different level of information well done guys , keep safe and well 442

Thank you we will
Seen alan a few months ago in Glasgow, turned the corner and said look who it is, his face was is this a Celtic or rangers fan? I then said “Celtic legend Alan Thompson” and he had a big smile
New subscriber here! Great content lads! Keep posting
Brilliant show. Love to know what these guys are doing now.
Thank you
My favourite Villa side that is, what a squad. Loved watching them, beautiful football.
Love listening to Thommo - love the style!
Thank you

In a word.... SUPERB.
Stay safe and thanks
Fabulous player , scored stunning goals , 🍀
Brilliant show guys 🏴
Yet another fantastic podcast gentlemen.
Hunskelper ? Ya rat
Loving these interviews. Tommo loved his half pints in Fanny’s.
Really enjoyed that, John seemed to turn into Barlow at the beginning of the 15 questions 😂
Fantastic again Liam and John. Thommo ledge HH
Absolutely thank you
Absolute class gentleman really enjoyed watching that
Absolutely thank you
Alan isn't just a Celtic great he... He became a celt, the fans notice these type of players hail hail alan
Braga is the stadium in Portugal with the cliffs,I thought it was 3 stands but it looks like 2 stands and cliffs behind each goal
Brilliant stuff, really enjoyed it. Thanks 👍
Love Thomo. Hail Hail 🍀🍀🍀
Absolutely brilliant 👏 , loving the 442 👍
Thank you
Great video, well done lads
Thommo, a Celtic LEGEND, what a team Celtic had back in the day, Thommo, Henrik, Sutty, Bobo, Mjallby and the rest
Was right behind the goal when he scored at Ibrox to make it 2-0
Only time I'd ever seen him use his right foot ;-)
Best for the future Alan
YNWA
Top class boys couldn't stop listening to it 1👍
I remember the coaches for millwall set off from the away end coz of the queues for Wembley tickets. When John scored the bloke in front fell about ten rows coz we were the last leg of some big accy he had on.
Loved Thommo and everything about those days ⚪️🔵🌹
Great listen, Thommo was a terrific player, he could mix it in against some high quality players, a career to be proud of. Hail hail.
Thank you
The stadium with the rock face is Braga. Boavista stadium was in the midst of a total rebuild when Celtic played there in 2003.
Great video absolutely class 😇⛳️🏌🏽♂️
Thank you
As a rangers fan hated him growing up but simply because he was a good player , back then both rangers and Celtic have cracking players feel if they went down th the prem would be defo up top 4 plus look at the support both teams bring week in week out
Thank you you sir for you nice comment
Fair play
Rangers mid 90s would have been mid table prem. Same for larsson prime era celtic. Just because they govern their league don't mean they could just walk into the prem and compete at the top. If this is true then why when both Scottish teams were at their very best did neither do any good in Europe? I would love to see an experiment where Rangers and celtic play two bottom 5 teams each, two mid table teams each ( say villa, Brighton, Everton, Southampton etc) and then the top 4 at the time, a game each. How many do you honestly believe either would win? Currently or back when Scottish football wasn't shite?
Rangers and celtic wouldn't get promoted from the championship to even compete in the prem. The bottom 3 prem teams are far stronger than the top three Scottish teams.
Both clubs got to the UEFA Cup final during the “Prime Larsson” era you bell end 😂
1:04:09 Great question about how it felt being a player compared to a coach after winning a old firm game.
Thank you 🙏
Alan Thompson, Celtic Great. Fkn Brilliant episode. Keep em coming.
Quality Thommo. What a Hunskepler you were! A massive part of some of my best life memories! Best of luck in your future career. I was lucky enough to shake the hand & share a few words with the Lions.... hopefully one day our paths will cross & I can shake yours & talk Celtic. Hail Hail!
Thank you
He was a top player Alan Thompson for Celtic i recall and had a good shot on him . Awe the best to him . Quick edit Hey But i recall the 70s this wa s a time Scotland always qualified for World cups and England could not qualify eh 😁
As for having spuds thrown from a height lol, i recall as a young teenager seeing beer bottles full of p-- above our heads from the jungle and god knows where they landed way in front ..crazy days and crushes coming out of stadium carried out without walking at all and in hope and praying to make out of the entrance and not crushed against the wall ..Crazy days was the 70s .
As for way Alan Chris and John all left Celtic was not good enough by the club who can be not nice in way they went about things back them days ..Was different when in 70s when i recall going to Testimonial games for Jinky and Lennox both at same time v Man U at Celtic park and Jink throw his boots into jungle at end .
But again them guys never picked up big wages as you guys did re Lisbon Lions side and today wages have went over the top in England rediculous with Agents who for me i call the parasites in the game who spoilt what was once known as the Beautiful game as now playes dictate to managers all via Agents and riches in their minds ..Greed spoilt the game and tell me this how many Geordies are in the Newcastle team today ? How mant Scousers are within the Liverpool team today ? i wont bother going on with this likes but some facts are none ..
Best Celtic manager easily 1/ Jock Stein 2/ Martin O'Neil although Martin had more £s to spend on team than any other Celtic manager ..Ange Postecoglou is doing very well at Celtic since he came in and time shall tell how he ends up doing but won |Spl title in his very first season with much changes needed in players in and many out door nd he done very well and now this 2nd season as i type Celtic are 9 points top of Spl under his tenure .
As for Rodgers i didnt rate that guy at all , he came when rangers were very poor and in Europe he was hopeless with having Celtic defend was his way in Europe when we did not have a good enough defence v good sides ..And he then later left half way through a season with Rangers to play in next game for Leicester ..No time for Rodgers as Greed took him way ..Ange is so much a better manager in all departments and is best purchase Celtic have made in a long time was getting in Ange Postecoglou and i dont need thanks behind my long straight honest post as know facts i say above you guys wont like 😁
Thank you for that brilliant comment
Thomo absolute legend for celtic fc great left foot.
Absolutely he was
Just loving the new show's lad's, I don't know who's idea this show was but you've on to a winner here. Great to hear about the banter and what happened behind the scenes at the clubs in those days. Great to see Alan can still hit ball's on target 😂😂😂 HAIL HAIL lad's and keep up the great work 👏👏👍🏴
Thank you. Me and john chatted for a long time about it
Great lad Thompson was at Celtic pity he didn't get many more games at Leeds.
He was getting old then

Who is the John guy
@@brianhillis9548 John Maginlay played for Bolton
You just got a (kind-of) mention on the “Quickly Kevin…” 90’s Football Podcast (hosted by Josh Widdecombe).
This episode, Thomo’s recollection of Brian Kilcline losing his barnet and ‘tache in Ayia Napa.
Not named you (as they’re a “rival”) but I do believe you are the “Podcast” they mention - as you got the anecdote out of him (whereas “the ‘cosh” didn’t).
Adrian Chiles episode, about 15 minutes in.
Thank you 🙏. Have you a link
Legend Thommo. That sweet left foot! Taller than you thought too, 6ft+. Great player for the Hoops.
Yes it was!
Great stuff Lads
We had some strength in that team of 2003. Balde myaldi Thompson Lambert Sutton Hartson. That's what we missing now
I don't know how 39000 people could watch this and it only has 530 likes, I don't even watch football, but I appreciate talent!!
Thank you
Great entertainment keep up the great work boys
Thank you
Superb
Brilliant podcast,Thomo class
Thank you
Fantastic player for Celtic loved him and his passion for the hoops wand of a left foot and wen he smashed it u knew 9 times out of ten in would hit the back of the net loved the guy still do all time celtic legend for me ☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️
I would of liked a prime John Mcginly at parkhead at one point a thought it was a certain.
Soon you will find out why her did not
What a Celt this man was HH 🍀🍀🍀
Thought thommo would have said favourite golf course would be loch Lomond golf course as it's bucket list stuff
Love the podcast
Thank you
One word “QUALITY “
Tommo was a great player for Bolton. Fantastic.
One of my favourite ever Celtic players.
I’ve not watched it yet but does he talk about his fallout with Lennon when he was coaching?
No
Tommo will always be respected and admired for what he done at Celtic.
Celtic fans never forget a player who played with passion & gave 100% for the Jersey.
To score 7 goals against the huns also helps 👌
Thank you
I loved him as a villa fan
