Rumour that he’s leaving Spenny, which wouldn’t surprise me

Not even on the bench lately, they have 3 or 4 wide players ahead of Thommo so no surprise.

Why? He isn’t getting in ahead of river, lambert or dos Santos. He barely plays for Spenny and hasn’t been a regular threat for years. He was brilliant for us, but we’ve moved on.

Don't think he'd cut the mustard now Andy.

My bet's on Shildon, riding high at Step 4

Think he's better than that Adam, Whitby or Morpeth possibly?

I'll bet there's a story going on behind the scenes with the Chuckle Brothers. They've also just blasted out Brad Abbott, who was the star of the show earlier in the season.

They have to be able to afford him though...

I seem to remember the chuckles wanted to sign Steve Thompson while they were at another club a few years back., thomo can do a job for someone but it would be a step below he still has a passion for the game.

Wonder if they have been a bit disappointed with him since they arrived. Unfortunately for them, he is not quite the same player who used to play so well against them when they were at Salford.

Fantastic player in his day and probably the stand-out player of our last 10 years - but he was a squad player for us in his last season, isn't getting in Spenny's team anymore. He wouldn't add any value to our current squad so why tarnish the great memories we all have of him?

I'm sure he'll do a terrific job a couple of divisions down and hope he finds the right club.

I agree, id have him back even if only on a short term contact until the end of the season, he is still a handful on his day

Darlo legend, but going off his performance against us and his lack of games at Spenny I don’t think he’s up to this level anymore. If I had to bet on him going somewhere maybe Hebburn?

There seemed to be a trend of people calling for the return of former players to plug gaps in the current squad, Thommo was an integral part of our rise up from the Northern League and was a fantastic player for us but like Gary Brown and Terry Galbraith et al who went before him it was time to move on.

Wouldn't be surprised to see him pop up in the Northern League, good luck to him wherever he goes.

Spenny has proven stony ground for many a frontman with previous good records. They usually end up sitting on their arses watching Glen Taylor (and Ramshaw to a much lesser extent) popping them in before moving on after a season or two of feeling the Spennymoor vibes but not much action. Just ask Adam Boyes and a few others.

I'll bet players like Mark Anderson and Thommo were absolutely thrilled last night to endure that 4-1 humping by Ryhope Colliery Welfare surrounded by youth players in front of fewer than 300 on a rainswept night at the Brewery Field.

Thommo joins Marske on an initial 28 day loan, following Jason Kennedy who has made his move there permanent following an initial loan deal. New managers certainly being quick to put their own stamp on the team, and the coaching staff considering Kennedy was a player coach.

Good move for him, hope he plays and does well. Will always be fondly remembers for some of the memories and goals he gave us.

Thommo was a brilliant signing for us, scored some great goals and loved his style of play.Thats a great signing by Marske and he will score goals for them without a doubt

This is nothing new with Darlo fans, there's an obsession with bringing people back (on and off the pitch) who have been at the club before with a section of our support.

Only if he's still got his magic hat.

Loved Richard Hodgson, thought he was a quality player.

Just stumbled across this bizarre website....http://www.hodgson-clan.net/hodgsons-in ... league.htm

Has joined Marske and scored on his debut on Saturday in a 5-3 win at Worksop.

Love Thommo - but it was very clear in the last few months of his time with us he had started to decline, or maybe this league was beginning to become tougher and tougher. So I was very surprised when Spenny chucked a loads of money at him. Good luck to him.
