Hi, I am going to add a Refimprove|date=June 2009 tab - whilst I am unsure of what citation standards apply to sportspeople, this person is also of interest for his discovery of the body of a serial killer victim, and it seems to me unusual to the point of improbable (though certainly not impossible) that a ninety-two-year-old man should be out in the fields mushrooming in an area so remote as to be the first to discover a corpse that had laid unnoticed by younger, fitter people for eighteen months. There are plenty of references saying a person named William Thomas discovered the body (e.g. [1]), but little evidence to say it was Bill Thomas the footballer. Of course he may have just been an incredibly spritely 92 year-old man but there are many levels of improbability there, so any credible reference to bolster this statement would allay any doubts.
