Geoff Thomas Biography

Geoff Thomas is one of the most popular and richest Association Football Player who was born on August 5, 1964 in Merthyr Tydfil, Wales, United Kingdom. Geoffrey Robert Thomas (born 5 August 1964) is an English former professional footballer who has won nine caps for the entire England team. He also captained Crystal Palace to the FA Cup final in the year 1990. Thomas is the founder of the Geoff Thomas Foundation, a charity which raises money to combat cancer, a disease that Thomas has been afflicted.

In May of 1991, he was given the first England cap after being chosen to be selected by Graham Taylor in a European Championship qualifying game in Izmir against Turkey on the Turkish side in Izmir. He also played for England against the USSR, Argentina, Australia, New Zealand, and Malaysia in the same year. He continued to win nine caps, the last one coming with France at Wembley in the year 1992.

Injuries also hampered his spells at Nottingham Forest (27 appearances in two seasons), and Barnsley (where he was mostly used as a substitute), and he struggled to get a run of games in the side. He also had a brief stint with Notts County at the end of the 2000–01 season, scoring once against Wrexham, before returning to Crewe Alexandra where he made his final seventeen appearances as a professional footballer. His return to Crewe was hampered by injuries and he could not stop them losing their 1st Division status at the end of the season, despite scoring twice against West Brom and Grimsby Town. His final ever appearance as a professional came in the FA Cup against Rotherham United on 26 January 2002, a game in which he scored.

In June 2003, after a year in retirement, Thomas revealed he had been diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukaemia, from which he later recovered. He won the BBC Sports Personality of the Year Helen Rollason Award in 2005, after he raised over £150,000 for the Leukaemia Research charity by cycling 2,200 miles in 21 days, completing the route of all 21 stages of the 2005 Tour de France a few days ahead of the race itself.

Thomas relocated from Crystal Palace in June 1987 for a price of PS50,000. Thomas had a huge impression on the pitch at Selhurst Park, collecting the Award for the Supporters’ Player of the Season in his debut season and helping the team to climb to the top of the league during his second season with the team. The third season in Palace had even more success because Thomas was a top flight player for the first team. He also played at the time of the FA Cup Final at Wembley Stadium in which they played 3-3 against Manchester United, before losing in replay. In the 1990-91 campaign, Thomas was a key member of the Palace team that placed third in the top division. It was the club’s top ever position to finish in and Thomas was awarded the trophy of Supporters’ Player-of-the-Year.
