Came over to add my condolences. Joe exemplified what football at our level is all about. That sense of belonging, that loyalty, that fighting spirit, not shown by all but by those that mattered. Joe did that in buckets. RIP Joe, you will rightly be a Rochdale legend for decades.

Terribly sad news. Thoughts and prayers are with his wife, his children and his extended family and friends.

An inspiration on and off the football field.

RIP Joey Thompson.

In all honesty, this has made me really quite emotional. I'm sure a lot Dale fans are feeling the same. My heart goes out to his nearest and dearest.

Thank you for all the memories Joey T. I'm sure a fitting tribute is being prepared. You can't retire every squad number, but not every person was Joey T. Retiring the 15 seems very fitting.

I couldn't get there for Joey T's legendary goal against Charlton. He did produce another goal that tried to stave off relegation, and it's an absolute beauty...

Very very sad news. Joey T embodied everything about the local boy done good. Gave literally everything for the club.

Seemed to remember he won the FA apprentice of the year and was recognised even then.

There are few players in the history of Rochdale who we can say scored a goal which changed the clubs entire trajectory. Chris O’Grady with the promotion goal against Northampton is one. Joey Thompson and the goal that kept us up against Charlton is another. For that goal alone he would have been a Dale legend. But to do have done it having missed most of the season recovering from a second cancer diagnosis. To do it being a local lad, one of our own - surely puts his goal above all others. His fight, both on and off the pitch, was inspirational. I’m absolutely gutted by today’s news and I trust that in time the club will come up with a fitting tribute to a true Rochdale legend, taken far too young.

“I never wanted to be known as a great or a good footballer. But if you ask me, do I want to be known as a great man? Now we are talking.

Adversity comes in different ways and affects people differently, but love and unity always wins."

Well, Joe, you more than achieved your wish.

RIP Joe. An icon of Rochdale AFC and a true club legend. Such an inspirational person and my heart goes out to his young family at this devastating time. A true fighter till the end and when Dale were fighting for their League 1 survival it was fitting he came off the bench and saved us that memorable day v Charlton. It was written in the stars and its a day all Dale fans will never forget. Thank you Joe 💜

A lovely human being who battled against adversity, Joe, to live on in all our hearts and minds is never to die. You will always be with us. You are one of our own.

I am blessed to have such wonderful memories of you, young man. A true hero and legend.

My deepest condolences to your wife, children and family.

RIP Joe... the final whistle.
