notes |
"The record of 1899-1900, however, would not be complete without some
reference to poor Tom Bradshaw, who came from Spurs with Joyce. How
well I remember that match with Queen's Park Rangers during the Christmas
holidays, when Joyce brought over the sad message to the Memorial Grounds
that our comrade had died. Poor Tom was one of the cleverest wing forwards
I have ever known and he was immensely popular with everybody." - Syd
King, 'Book Of Football' (1906) |
