Steve Thompson

When Peter Taylor was relieved of his management duties Jobson announced that the club would be run by a triumvirate of Steve Thompson, Danny Greaves and Theo Foley. However it was Thompson that effectively took charge and became a local legend. Defeats against Sunderland and Bolton left the Blues just one place above relegation and sinking fast.<br><br> Then a visit to a muddy Boundary Park where they won 2-0 started a run of eight wins, two draws and only two defeats in the last 12 matches with a comfortable 13th place in the final table. Thompson agreed to sign as manager, but before he had put pen to paper was poached by Colin Murphy and joined Notts. Co.
