Title: Re: Adver News: Thompson named Adver Player of the Year Post by: Reg Smeeton on Saturday, April 20, 2013, 10:27:00 Don't our players of the year normally leave us? Yes....but usually they've played well as they're going to be out of contract at season's end. Oh Title: Re: Adver News: Thompson named Adver Player of the Year Post by: Nemo on Saturday, April 20, 2013, 10:34:00 Who was the last home grown player to win this? It must have been a while...
Title: Re: Adver News: Thompson named Adver Player of the Year Post by: Costanza on Saturday, April 20, 2013, 10:36:44 Who was the last home grown player to win this? It must have been a while... Mildenhall as a Youth to Senior. Evans as a Swindon born. Title: Re: Adver News: Thompson named Adver Player of the Year Post by: sonicyouth on Saturday, April 20, 2013, 10:37:33 Who was the last home grown player to win this? It must have been a while... Mildenhall at a guess, or Evans?Title: Re: Adver News: Thompson named Adver Player of the Year Post by: jayohaitchenn on Saturday, April 20, 2013, 10:39:53 Thats who I would have picked
Title: Re: Adver News: Thompson named Adver Player of the Year Post by: Nemo on Saturday, April 20, 2013, 10:40:15 Evans came through at Chelsea, Mildenhall is probably the one I'm looking for. Thompson joined us at 16 from Palace, right? May be wildly wrong, just a dim memory.
Title: Re: Adver News: Thompson named Adver Player of the Year Post by: sonicyouth on Saturday, April 20, 2013, 10:43:09 Evans was at Swindon as a kid wasn't he? Fatbury mentored him.
I think both Thompson brothers were youth players long before signing pro terms, not sure if they're both from Swindon? It's weird that Louis would get a call up for Wales but Nathan hasn't? Title: Re: Adver News: Thompson named Adver Player of the Year Post by: Nemo on Saturday, April 20, 2013, 10:46:28 Wiki suggests the Thompsons have been here longer than I first thought- Nathan born in Chester, Louis in Bristol. Only reason I can imagine Nathan hasn't played for Wales yet is that he's 22 and only really coming to prominence now, so not considered good enough for the Wales age group teams when he was eligible.
Title: Re: Adver News: Thompson named Adver Player of the Year Post by: Quagmire on Saturday, April 20, 2013, 10:50:07 I thought Thomspon was from Warminster way as he used to at for Warminster Highbury in his youth days.
Title: Re: Adver News: Thompson named Adver Player of the Year Post by: leefer on Saturday, April 20, 2013, 10:52:04 Well deserved....winner by a long way for me.
Title: Re: Adver News: Thompson named Adver Player of the Year Post by: ronnie21 on Saturday, April 20, 2013, 12:09:40 Do we actually know the number of votes cast for each player?
Title: Re: Adver News: Thompson named Adver Player of the Year Post by: Batch on Sunday, April 21, 2013, 07:35:30 Do we actually know the number of votes cast for each player? Don't think so, but Thompson had 400 more votes than whoever came second according to Adver tweets.Title: Re: Adver News: Thompson named Adver Player of the Year Post by: bigbobjoylove on Sunday, April 21, 2013, 10:05:38 Nice little earner for the Adver then.

Blimey, a quid a time? His dad must have deep pockets. Title: Re: Adver News: Thompson named Adver Player of the Year Post by: Flashheart on Sunday, April 21, 2013, 10:13:26 Nice little earner for the Adver then. I expect they made little or nothing from it. What's more likely is that somebody in the adver offices decided they didn't fancy counting the votes manually and outsourced it instead, hence the charge. Just a little useless insight for you. Happy Sunday. |
