He also earned two caps with the Republic of Ireland. PlayerProfessionalIn 1962, Thomas joined Coventry G.E.C., playing with them until 1966. That year, he played one game for Coventry City. He went on loan to Waterford F.C. in 1967 where he made thirteen appearances. Coventry City transferred him to Waterford in the summer of 1967 and he stayed with the Blues until 1975. Thomas is associated with bringing a new style of goalkeeping to the League of Ireland. He rarely kicked the ball on the offensive, throwing when possible with great accuracy. He also represented the League of Ireland XI and won five league medals and a FAI Cup medal and played in 12 European Cup matches for Waterford. It is not an exaggeration to say that Peter Thomas is a living legend in League of Ireland history and an almost mythical figure in Waterford football fans' memories.[1] In 1975, he moved to the United States where he played for the Washington Diplomats of the North American Soccer League. In 1976, he moved to the Utah Golden Spikers of the American Soccer League.[2] He returned to the NASL in 1977 with the Las Vegas Quicksilvers. The Diplomats had traded the rights to Thomas and Gerry Ingram to the Quicksilver in exchange for Peter Silvester in November 1976.[3] He finished his North American career with the Sacramento Gold of the ASL in 1978. In the fall of 1978, he returned to Ireland where he rejoined Waterford F.C. National teamBorn in England, Thomas earned two caps with the Republic of Ireland after becoming an Irish citizen. He made his debut in 1973 against Poland, keeping a clean sheet but having to come off at half time due to a pulled muscle in his stomach.[4] His second cap came against Brazil in 1974. He was back down in the ASL in 1975, this time with the Sacramento Gold.[5] ManagerHe took over as manager of Waterford United F.C. in August 1988 but resigned in December due to work pressures.[6] Honours
