Posted inWales

Agile and quick left-footed winger, Mickey Thomas has played for many important clubs including Manchester United, Everton, Brighton & Hove Albion, Stoke City, Chelsea and West Bromwich Albion. He began his career at Wrexham, where he spent eight seasons. With the Welsh team he reached the quarter-finals of the Cup Winners’ Cup in 1976 and won the Third Division title in 1978. Soon after he joined Manchester United. In three seasons with Red Devils, he scored 11 goals in 110 games. After two brief negative periods at Everton and Brighton & Hove Albion, Thomas moved to Stoke City, where he quickly became a favorite at the Victoria Ground. He also won the Player of the Year award for the 1982/83 season. In January 1984 he signed for Chelsea of his former Wrexham manager John Neal. Thomas made an immediate impact, scoring twice on his debut and helping the club become Second Division champions in 1984. In his last years of career he played for West Bromwich Albion, Derby County, American side Wichita Wings, Shrewsbury Town, Leeds United and again Stoke City where, at the age of 36 he played in 44 games in 1990/91 and won again the Player of the Year award. In 1991 he returned to Wales to finish his career at Wrexham and Porthmadog. With the Welsh national team he played 51 games and scored 4 goals.
