Reported on SEN about 1 hour ago that former great Len Thompson has passed away.

Very sad news.

Even tho' he played for the filth Len was not only a great ruckman & genuine tap ruck man he was also an absolute gentleman and a gentle giant. Very nice man & would always take time to be nice to fans etc.

Was always a good to watch him play. Only aged 61.

RIP big Len.

    Well.. thats a great shame.. Indeed a giant of the game. He was a respected plyer even if one of "them". Quite surprised, he was shown on camera at a game recently. Seemed ok. Condolences :(

    Absolutely... It's a rarity to say about a Collingwood player, not only was he great player, but a truly humble and sincere gentleman. Vale Len.

    Top Guy Len. Heard him interviewed many times on Radio-always a pleasure to listen to. Remember well his Mutton chop Sideburns winning the '72 Brownlow an Black and white TV. 61 way too young

    • PREVIEW: Brisbane

      They really had me fooled when I picked them with great confidence to beat the Bombers at Gather Round last week. I should have recognised that nothing is more quintessentially Melbourne than defeating the undefeated early premiership favourite one week and losing to a winless cellar dweller on its way to establishing a record losing streak the next.
