Thompson Out Of Favour With NI

County striker ‘Pistol’ Peter Thompson appears to be a forgotten man at international level with his nation Northern Ireland.

Thompson, whose only struck three goals for the Hatters since his relatively big money move from Linfield last summer, has been overlooked yet again for the squad by manager Nigel Worthington.

This time, Worthington has opted for League Two Accrington Stanley striker Billy Kee, in what surely is a blow for Thompson’s international hopes.

Kee has represented NI at Under 21 level previously.
