Soccer Star Joe Thompson
Dead At 36
After Battle With Cancer

Published April 18, 2025 7:06 AM PDT

Soccer star Joe Thompson has passed away after a long battle with cancer, his wife confirmed this week. He was only 36.

Chantelle Thompson shared the devastating news on Instagram … saying her “brave and courageous” husband died at home surrounded by his family.

“It’s been a long battle, and one that he fought with all his might and he did things HIS way!!” Chantelle said.

“He chose his path and walked every step with courage and pride growing closer to God each day while still being there for so many others. He held on to his plans for the future to continue that legacy, but it’s now time for him to rest up and watch over us from heaven.”

This was the footballer’s third battle with the illness. He beat Hodgkin’s lymphoma twice before he was diagnosed again last April. It ultimately reached stage four and spread to his lungs.

“I know he will be deeply missed by everyone,” Chantelle said, “and the world will not be the same without his contagious energy.”

Thompson started playing soccer in 1998 when he joined Manchester United’s youth team, playing with James Chester and Danny Drinkwater.

After retiring in 2019, he became a motivational speaker and held an ambassador role with United.

“A man who epitomized our club’s values,” United stated.

“A warm personality who had a deep connection with United from a young age, our thoughts are with Joe’s family and friends at this difficult time.”
