We’re really saddened to hear of the death of our former manager Trevor Thompson. He took over the reins midway through the 1986-87 season before being eventually replaced by Bill Brindley. As a player, he had begun his career in the mid 1970s with West Brom, when Johnny Giles was player manager and a youngContinue reading “RIP Trevor Thompson”
