*Club domestic league appearances and goals |
Thomas Henry Grundy (15 March 1883 – 1948) was an English footballer who made eight appearances in the Football League playing for Everton and Lincoln City. He played as an outside left. [2] He also played in the Midland League for Lincoln City, [3] and in the Southern and Western Leagues for Reading. [4]
Grundy was born in Neston, Cheshire, to William and Elizabeth Grundy. [1] He played football for nearby Chirk, Wrexham and Neston [2] before joining First Division club Everton in November 1905 at a wage of £2 a week and a signing-on bonus of £5. [5] He made his debut on 20 December, in a goalless draw away to Middlesbrough, and played his second and what turned out to be final first-team game for the club a few weeks later, in a 4–2 defeat at Newcastle United. [6] After some consideration, Everton chose not to re-engage Grundy for the coming season, and placed him on the transfer list at a fee of £25. [7]
As there were no takers from the Football League, Grundy was allowed to join non-league club Reading. The Daily Express wrote that much was expected of the player, who had "shown himself to be very speedy; he accurately centres when going at top speed, and his foot-work generally is admirable". [8] Grundy played for Reading in both Southern and Western Leagues. [4] Everton retained Grundy's Football League registration until April 1908, when he was allowed to leave on a free transfer. [9]
He signed for Lincoln City, then bottom of the Second Division, [10] in time to play in the last three games of the season, [3] but Lincoln were unable to improve their position. They failed to be re-elected to the Football League, and were accepted into the Midland League for 1908–09. [11] Grundy missed just two games in league and FA Cup as Lincoln won the Midland League title, but played only three more first-team matches after their election back to the Football League. [3] [11]
...and the second by [McCafferty], who headed a magnificent goal from an adroitly turned ball by Grundy.
McCafferty and Grundy were the pick of a tame lot of forwards.
