Liverpool FC saddened by passing of Max Thompson

Liverpool FC is deeply saddened by the passing of former player Max Thompson.

Thompson, once the Reds' youngest ever player, has sadly passed away at the age of 66.

The Liverpool-born defender joined the club as an apprentice before being rewarded with a professional contract.

At the age of 17 years and 129 days, Thompson was handed his senior debut by Bill Shankly with a start in the final game of the 1973-74 season, a 1-1 draw away at Tottenham Hotspur.

That club record would stand until May 2010 when Jack Robinson appeared as a 16-year-old in a Premier League fixture with Hull City.

Thompson made one more appearance for Liverpool, coming on as a substitute against Real Sociedad in the 1975-76 UEFA Cup, before loans with the Dallas Tornado and Blackpool.

He signed permanently for Blackpool in February 1978 after impressing during his temporary spell there and went on to represent a host of other clubs, including Swansea City, AFC Bournemouth and sides in the USA, Portugal and Sweden.

After his playing career, Thompson took a football injuries course at Lilleshall and eventually returned to Liverpool in the early 1990s as a physiotherapist.

The thoughts of everyone at the club are with Max's family and friends at this difficult time.

RIP Max Thompson, 1956-2023
