Thomas, along with Graeme Hick, held the record for highest score in the Twenty20 Cup from 2004 to 2006, after scoring 116 not out to lead Glamorgan to a win with three balls to spare against Somerset Sabres in the group stages of the 2004 tournament.

After the 2005 season, where Thomas’ highest first class cricket score was 42, he was released from the club, and currently plays some minor cricket for Herefordshire. He has also represented Welsh Minor Counties.

In 30 matches, he scored 1295 runs at an average of 46.25, making three centuries with a highest score of 133. He also took 42 wickets at 29.83 with a best of 5/57. During his period at the club, Thomas formed a formidable opening partnership with his former Glamorgan county colleague Dan Cherry.

Move to Greece
In 1988, Klopas moved to Greece to play with AEK Athens FC. He played four seasons with the team. However, he tore his anterior crucaite ligament in 1991. That injury and a subsequent infection hindered his playing for nearly two years. In 1992, Klopas signed a contract with the U.S. Soccer Federation to play full time for the United States men’s national soccer team. After the 1994 FIFA World Cup, Klopas returned to Greece and signed with Apollon Athens in 1994 for the remainder of the 1994-1995 season, as well as the 1995-1996 season. He debuted with Apollon on January 7, 1995 against his former Greek club, AEK Athens FC.
MLS
In 1996, Major League Soccer began developing teams for its inaugural season. In order to ensure an equitable distribution of talent to each team, MLS allocated known players to each team. MLS allocated Klopas to the Kansas City Wizards. Klopas would spend two years with the club, and was then dealt to the expansion Chicago Fire. He would play two years for Chicago before retiring, helping them to the MLS Cup in 1998 and the U.S. Open Cup to complete “The Double.”
In four years in MLS, Klopas scored 13 goals and added 16 assists. He had six goals and five assists in 40 games — 24 starts — for the Fire, including both goals in a 2-0 win over the Tampa Bay Mutiny in the Fire’s first ever game at Soldier Field on April 4, 1998.
Klopas’ most notable goal for the Fire came in Golden Goal overtime of a 2-1 win over the Columbus Crew in the U.S. Open Cup Final on Oct. 30, 1998, at Soldier Field.
On January 25, 2000, Klopas announced his retirement from playing professional soccer. The Fire then hired him as the team strength and conditioning trainer. After the 2000 MLS season, Klopas resigned from the Fire due to personal reasons.

On June 5, 2004, the Fire inducted Klopas into the team’s “Ring of Fire,” which celebrates outstanding players and contributors to the organization.

Biography
Personality
In interviews, fellow musicians often described Ohlin as a strange and introverted person. Fellow bandmember Hellhammer described Ohlin as “a very strange personality … depressed, melancholic, and dark.” Likewise, Mayhem guitarist Euronymous once stated “I honestly think Dead is mentally insane. Which other way can you describe a guy who does not eat, in order to get starving wounds? Or who has a t-shirt with funeral announcements on it?”
According to Emperor drummer Bård “Faust” Eithun:
“He (Dead) wasn’t a guy you could know very well. I think even the other guys in Mayhem didn’t know him very well. He was hard to get close to. I met him two weeks before he died. I’d met him maybe six to eight times, in all. He had lots of weird ideas. I remember Aarseth was talking about him and said he did not have any humour. He did, but it was very obscure. Honestly, I don’t think he was enjoying living in this world.”
Performances
For concerts, Ohlin went to great lengths to achieve the image and atmosphere he desired. From the beginning of his career he was known to wear “corpse paint”, which involved covering his face with black and white makeup. According to Necrobutcher, “It wasn’t anything to do with the way Kiss and Alice Cooper used makeup. Dead actually wanted to look like a corpse. He didn’t do it to look cool.” Additionally, Hellhammer claimed that Ohlin “was the first black metal musician to use corpse paint.”
To complete his corpse-like image, Ohlin would bury his clothes before a concert and dig them up again to wear on the night of the event. According to Hellhammer:
Before the shows, Dead used to bury his clothes into the ground so that they could start to rot and get that “grave” scent. He was a “corpse” on a stage. Once he even asked us to bury him in the ground - he wanted his skin to become pale.
During one tour with Mayhem he found a dead crow, which he collected and stored in a plastic bag. He often carried it around with him and would smell the bird before performing, in order to sing “with the stench of death in his nostrils.”
Suicide
At some point in 1990, the members of Mayhem moved to “an old house in the forest” near Oslo called Kråkstad. Hellhammer claimed that Ohlin “just sat in his room and became more and more depressed” and that there was a lot of arguing between Ohlin and Aarseth.
On 8 April 1991, Ohlin committed suicide in the house owned by the band. He was found by Aarseth with slit wrists, neck, and a shotgun wound to the head. The shotgun was allegedly owned by Aarseth. Ohlin’s suicide note read “Excuse all the blood” and included an apology for firing the weapon indoors. Instead of calling the police, Aarseth went to a nearby store and bought a disposable camera to photograph the corpse, after re-arranging some items. Necrobutcher claimed that “I think Øystein was shocked by Dead’s suicide, and taking the photographs was the only way he could cope with it.” One of these photographs was later used as the cover of a bootleg live album entitled Dawn of the Black Hearts.
Eventually, rumours surfaced that Aarseth made a stew with pieces of Ohlin’s brain, and made necklaces with fragments of Ohlin’s skull. The band later confirmed that the second rumour was true. Additionally, Aarseth claimed to have given these necklaces to musicians he deemed worthy. Necrobutcher noted that “people became more aware of the (black metal) scene after Dead had shot himself … I think it was Dead’s suicide that really changed the scene.”
