Gaffa tape.

Get some sort of wrist brace that is flexible but keeps even pressure on the thumb.

No, because then you could only play one section of the neck.

More seriously do try and get a proper wrist/thumb support but if you really really have no way of getting one before a gig then you can make a support out of the gaffa tape, just wrap it round like a bandage. Wouldn't give much movement though.

Also, how did you sprain your thumb doing football?

Get a girlfriend, and give the thumb a rest.
