Jim Thomson"Silhouette","Big J.T." |
Big Jim Thomspon has been the player Queens have lacked for some time, providing much needed stability in the centre of defence and was many fans player of the season for 97/98. Such have been the consistency and quality of his performances Jim has been training with Hibs pre-season and the Edinburgh club are very interested in signing him. However, Jim has just got married (congratulations) and may be reluctant to give up a secure job for the risk of, what could be a fleeting, full-time football career. Only time will tell, but please Jim...DON'T GO, PLEASE!
