smoggeordie 0 Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 NEWCASTLE United will pay tribute to Academy starlet Jordan Thompson at Sunday's game against West Ham United after the 15-year-old sadly passed away following a long illness. Jordan, from West Denton, was part of the club's Under 16 squad and had been with his hometown club since the age of 11. As a mark of respect, Newcastle United's players will wear black armbands for Sunday's game and will celebrate Jordan's life with a minute's applause before kick-off against the Hammers. Jordan's family will be at the game and his U16 Academy team-mates will also join United's senior team on the pitch for the minute's applause. Chairman Chris Mort said: "Jordan was an excellent young player in our Academy and the staff were very pleased with the way in which he was developing, both as a player and a fabulous young man. "Our deepest sympathies go to his family and friends. "As a mark of respect, the Club will be holding a minute's applause before Sunday's game."

Smooth Operator 10 Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 RIP, when you see those players who waste their talent throughout a career and take the things that come with being a professional footballer for granted it makes it even more tragic that this lad wasn't able to fulfill his undoubted potential.
