Swansea City hero and Liverpool record-breaker Max Thompson dies aged 66

Former Swansea City defender Max Thompson has died at the age of 66.

The defender spent two years at the Vetch Field under boss John Toshack before leaving for AFC Bournemouth in 1983, and was part of the side which defied all expectations to finish sixth in the old First Division in 1982.

Thompson made 26 appearances in total for the Swans, netting two goals, including a memorable strike against Arsenal at the Vetch in 1981.
