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.[3] He also played in the Midland League for Lincoln City,[4] and in the Southern and Western Leagues for Reading.[5]
Grundy was born in Neston, Cheshire, to William and Elizabeth Grundy.[1] He played football for nearby Chirk, Wrexham and Neston[3] before joining First Division club Everton in November 1905 at a wage of £2 a week and a signing-on bonus of £5.[6] 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.[7] 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.[8]
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".[9] Grundy played for Reading in both Southern and Western Leagues.[5] Everton retained Grundy's Football League registration until April 1908, when he was allowed to leave on a free transfer.[10]
He signed for Lincoln City, then bottom of the Second Division,[11] in time to play in the last three games of the season,[4] 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.[12] 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.[4] [12]
