St Mirren Football Club is delighted to announce that Steven Thompson will be inducted into the St Mirren Hall of Fame.
The lifelong Buddie is the latest inductee to be announced, with Danny Lennon, Jim Goodwin, Alex Smith and Jimmy Bone all set to take their place at the club's 140th Anniversary dinner next month.
However, due to commitments with the BBC, Steven is unable to attend the club's 140th Anniversary Dinner and will instead be inducted at the club's end of season dinner in 2018.
Steven joined his boyhood heroes in 2011 after leaving English club Burnley and stayed with the Saints until he retired in 2016, scoring 54 goals in 180 appearances for the black and white.
Perhaps his most famous moment at St Mirren came in 2013 when he scored the second goal in our 3-2 triumph over Hearts in the League Cup final as the Buddies lifted major silverware for the first time since 1987.
Steven told stmirren.com: "To finish my career at St Mirren would have been enough, but to be involved in a moment that would be as historic and memorable as the Cup Final will be with me forever."
Commercial Manager, Campbell Kennedy said: "Nobody can forget the contributions that Steven made during his time at the club. With Danny Lennon and Jim Goodwin being inducted also it made sense for Steven to join them. Whilst it's unfortunate he can't be with us at the 140th Anniversary Dinner, we are delighted that he will be inducted at the end of the season dinner."
