sad news that former Burnley, Blackpool and Barrow goalkeeper Harry Thomson has passed away at the age of 72 after being diagnosed with throat cancer several months ago.

Yes RIP Harry Thomson, he was a character, popular with the fans and one of a band of great keepers to have been at our club over the years.

"Sir Harry Thompson....Sir Harry Thompson.....Sir Harry Thompson....."
I can still hear it now as he made his way from the tunnel to the kop end and then went down on one knee to accept his dubbing from the crowd.....a magic character!
R.I.P. Harry
