PROFILE
At the end of the 1929-30 season, Tom Bradshaw joined Liverpool from Bury for 8,000
pounds, then the fourth-highest transfer fee in history. He was tall, hence his nickname
of 'Tiny', but was also, according to one contemporary writer, 'as dainty as a ballroom
dancer'. Bradshaw played for Scotland in their famous 'Wembley Wizards' team of 1928, but
the wealth of talent then available at centre-half restricted his international career to
that solitary appearance. For Liverpool, however, Bradshaw proved a splendid servant and
he made nearly 300 first-team appearances, being ever-present in 1931-2 and going down in
the club's history as one of the Reds' finest half-backs. One of his most memorable
performances came in the FA Cup competition of 1931-2. The game at Goodison Park was less
than one minute old when 'Dixie' Dean put Everton ahead following a misunderstanding
between Morrison and, ironically, Bradshaw himself. However, 'Tiny' marshalled the
Liverpool defence and before half-time, Gunson had equalized. Hodgson silenced the
Evertonians in the 60,000 crowd when he scored the winner and Bradshaw emerged as a hero.
Bradshaw moved to Third Lanark in 1938. Chief scout for Norwich, he died in 1986. |
