BILLY THOMSON 1958-2023

6th February 2023

We are saddened to learn of the passing of former player and Hall of Fame inductee Billy Thomson at the age of 64.

Joining in 1984, Billy faced the unenviable task of taking over the gloves from Hamish McAlpine. 

A first-team regular until 1991, the goalkeeper made over 200 appearances for United, including being part of the squad that went all the way to the UEFA Cup Final in '87.

Over a 22-year career spanning several clubs in the Scottish top flight, Billy represented his country on seven occasions. 

Everyone at Dundee United would like to extend their condolences to Billy's family and friends.
