Thomas Seth Pointon (1890 – after 1924) was an English footballer who played in the Football League for Birmingham and Coventry City.[1]
Pointon was born in Evesham, Worcestershire.[1] He began his football career as an amateur with Coventry City and Redditch Town before joining Birmingham, still as an amateur, in August 1913. The club were fined £5 for playing him in the reserves before the transfer formalities had been completed. An outside left, his performances in the reserves were such that he was invited to a trial for England's amateur team, which proved unsuccessful.[2] He made his debut in the Second Division on New Year's Day 1914 in a 2–0 defeat at Stockport County, and played three times more that season, scoring once,[3] but left in April 1914. He played briefly for Redditch, then joined Walsall shortly before the First World War started. After the war he had a season with Nuneaton Town before returning to the Football League with Coventry City. He played twice in the Second Division for Coventry before a third spell with Redditch and finishing his career at Tamworth Castle.[2]
