Glyn William Thompson (born 24 February 1981) is an English association football goalkeeper.
Born in Shrewsbury, Shropshire, Thompson began his career as a youth player with hometown club Shrewsbury Town. He got his senior début as a 19-year-old under manager Jake King, in a 3–0 away win over Torquay United on the last day of the 1998–99 Division Three season. He made one more appearance for the club – a 3–0 League Cup defeat to Sheffield United — before joining Fulham for a £50,000 fee in October 1999.
Fulham sent him on loan to Mansfield Town January 2000. He made 16 appearances (with five clean sheets) before his loan spell ended in May of that year. Shrewsbury was again his next club, but he was only drafted in on loan as cover, and did not play.
He spent three months on loan to Northampton Town and made 10 league appearances. Northampton made the move permanent, but Thompson was only to start eight more league matches in the following two years. Chesterfield of League One bought him on a free transfer in March 2005.
A 1–1 draw with Swindon Town on the final day of the 2004–05 season was his only match for the Derbyshire club. Before the 2005–06 season began, Thompson rejoined The Shrews. He spent the whole season as second-choice goalkeeper behind Joe Hart and as a result opted to leave at the season's end, to find first-team action. On 29 June, he signed for Hereford United.
