Legendary Dundee United goalkeeper Billy Thomson has passed away aged 64. Thomson was a renowned shotstopper at Tannadice throughout the late 1980s and made 234 appearances under Jim McLean, starting the UEFA Cup Final in 1987.

He is best known for his time in Tayside and was beloved at St Mirren with more than 200 appearances before his move to Tayside.

Thomson also featured for Partick Thistle, Rangers, Motherwell and Dundee before retiring in 1996. While in Paisley, he made his Scotland debut in 1980 and played seven times for his country between 1980 and 1983.

He came through the ranks at Thistle and was understudy to Allan Rough and moved to St Mirren for £50,000 - a remarkable fee for a keeper at the time.
