Happy to post it again. Presumably, if it was untrue, Tommo would have sued by now.

I was given Matthew Norman's book - You Cannot Be Serious: The 101 Most Infuriating Things In Sport - for Christmas and it contained a story about Thompson that I hadn't heard previously. Channel 4 Racing stalwart John Tyrrel was Norman's father-in-law and died in Newmarket in 1995: "When he died...Tommo raced to the house to offer condolences, and to beg JT's widow to delay the funeral for more than a week, until the first day on which he could be certain to attend. This, at some inconvenience, she duly did. The mystery of Tommo's non-appearance at the church was not resolved until hours after the service, when my brother-in-law and I chose to pay our most private respects by spending an hour in a bookmaker's in Newmarket High Street. Any plans to make a missing person's report and ask the police to put out an All Points Bulletin for a Caucasian male, about forty-five years old, with an infuriating smirk were happily forestalled when a familiar voice drifted out of the speakers. Tommo, having demanded the postponement of the funeral to a time convenient to himself had waged a fierce internal battle and then decided to earn a few bob from commentating on behalf of the bookies' satellite service SIS at an exceedingly minor meeting at Uttoxeter."

What Norman doesn't mention but I definitely recall is that not long previously Tyrrel had taken the trouble to write to the Post in defence of Thompson whose grating manner had attracted a lot of criticism - so, what's new? - and Tyrrel had valiantly fought his corner.

plenty of pictures of the 'great' man on my photo gallery.

feel free to amuse yourselves.

was there any truth in the rumour that he asked for someones funeral to be delayed to allow him to commentate one day?

sorry mate didnt bother readin the above

i did hear about it. That is **** sick by anyones standards

Plenty of interesting stuff here about Thompson and his various schemes.  Well worth a read.

http://gerryatricsscamtippingblog.blogspot.co.uk/

So many stories about his devious schemes.
There's the infamous bucket scam, the incident with Hugo Palmer when the BHA got involved, telling callers to his hotline @£1.53pm that he was on the gallops getting info. from trainers when he was really on a Mediterranean cruise etc... etc....  And new this year .... the "executive" bucket scam involving corporate guests in marquees at the main meetings. 
The list goes on.

his AWFUL tipping line paid for his sons education .

V I L E

Can’t deal with his constant lip-smacking during every commentary.
Must be dribbling all over the place, not ideal in these COVID times.

So funny can't stop laughing.
