Edward Thompsons



Worked there in IT doing the maths for the scratch cards, internal ID and anything else that needed doing, played a couple of games for the footy team and used to play at the seaburn centre on a Sat morning with a load of the lads

Just wondered how many people on here used to work there? I was just talking to a lass who I work with now and she worked in the shop same time as I worked at Richmond street and The Mill. Good times and would go as far to say the best job I ever had. I know one of the lads on here who I worked with would agree as he had great history there.

My first ever job when I left school. Absolutely loved the place. The banter there was something else, just spent all day taking the piss and laughing my tits off.

I worked at SAFC in the 70s and Thompsons did a lot of our work. I used to go for lunch at the canteen with Johnny Watters and who ever was getting treatment at Roker. Tommy Clark, Ray Smith, Bob Hannant and my memory has let me down again. I remember Frank Cronin coming onto the board at SAFC.

All Sunderland fans should be grateful for what Frank Cronin did for the club , in effect he bailed the club out and kept it going by giving it financial help big time.

A local business supporting the local community in more ways than one , continued to this day by Tombola and the Cronin family.
