St Mirren pay tribute to Billy Thomson as former fan favourite passes away aged 64

Former St Mirren goalkeeper Billy Thomson has passed away at the age of 64.

Thomson was a huge fan favourite for his impressive performances between the sticks at Love Street, making 284 appearances in all competitions for the Paisley club after joining from Partick Thistle for £50,000.

Often competing with Campbell Money for the number one spot in the late 1970's and early 80s, Thomson played a key role as the Buddies challenged at the top of the First Division table. He also played a big part when the club lifted the Anglo-Scottish Cup after beating Bristol City in the final in Paisley in 1980.
