Playing career

Bury

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.

Wembley Wizards

Bradshaw was called up for his senior international debut 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'. In his one game for Scotland Bradshaw directly nullified Dixie Dean, England's most potent goalscorer of his generation. Despite such a notable individual and team performance, Bradshaw was the only wizard to have this game as their only full cap.

Liverpool

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 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 a 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.

Later career in football

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. In 1947–48 Bradshaw was coach in the Netherlands at 't Gooi.[2][3]
