Thomas McCready (19 October 1943 – 19 July 2016) was a Scottish professional footballer who played in the Football League as a left back. He joined Wimbledon from Watford (for whom he made just one appearance).[2] He played over 400 matches for the Dons, scoring 25 goals. McCready left at the end of the 1973/74 season and retired after short spells at Dulwich Hamlet and Staines Town.
