LEGEND WOULD WELCOME THOMMO
RETURN
Mark Platt 09 January 2005
Liverpool legend John Aldridge has
revealed he would love to see former Red Davey Thompson brought
back to Anfield by Rafael Benitez.
Since being sold to Blackburn by former boss Gerard Houllier during
the summer of 2000 Thommo has blossomed into a player on the verge
of a full England debut.
A product of Liverpool's Academy, he was a FA Youth Cup winner with
the Reds in 1996 and an extremely popular figure with the fans in
his four years as a first team squad player.
There was a lot of surprise when the right-sided midfield man was
allowed to leave and Aldo believes the time could be right to bring
him back.
"David Thompson is a wide-man I suspect would be within the club's
reach and who'd be a great addition," he says.
"He was deemed surplus to requirements by Gerard Houllier. But a
move to bring him back to Anfield would be universally welcomed by
the fans. He has proved at Blackburn what a talent he
is."
