Tom Bradshaw (7 February 1904 – 22 February 1986) was a Scottish international footballer of the 1920s and 1930s who played for Liverpool.
[edit] Life and playing career
Born Bishopton, Renfrewshire, Scotland, He began his professional career with English side Bury, in 1922, having been signed from local amateur side Woodside Juniors. A wing-half or centre-half, Bradshaw spent eight years with the Lancashire club, and it was here that he earned his only international call-up on 31 March 1928 at Wembley Stadium in a 5-1 win over England, a performance that saw the Scotland side dubbed the 'Wembley Wizards'.
Two years later, in January 1930, Liverpool manager George Patterson paid £8000 for his services, he made his debut on 25 January at Anfield against bitter rivals Manchester United. It was a day to remember as Liverpool won the game 1-0. His first goal for Liverpool came on 3 September 1932 in match against Newcastle United, where Newcastle won a 4-3 thriller. Tom stayed at the Merseyside club for eight years, playing most of his games at centre-back, eventually racking up 291 appearances.
Following his departure in 1938, Bradshaw had short spells with Third Lanark and South Liverpool, before retiring to work as a scout for Norwich City for a period of time.
A large, physically imposing player, Bradshaw was ironically nicknamed 'Tiny'.
Tom died in Liverpool on 22 February 1986, three weeks after his 82nd birthday.
