Peter Thomas (20 November 1944 – 19 January 2023)[1] was an English footballer who played as a goalkeeper in England, Ireland and United States.
In 1975, he moved to the United States where he played for the Washington Diplomats of the North American Soccer League.
The Diplomats had traded the rights to Thomas and Gerry Ingram to the Quicksilver in exchange for Peter Silvester in November 1976.
He made his debut in 1973 against Poland, keeping a clean sheet but having to come off at half time due to a pulled muscle in his stomach.
[5] Thomas took over as manager of Waterford United in August 1988 but resigned in December due to work pressures.
