INFO:
Bradshaw was a centre-half or wing-half. His career began in 1922 at Bury, where he made 219 appearances in eight seasons, scoring 8 goals. During this period, he capped for Scotland once in 1928. He transferred to Liverpool in 1930, spending eight years with the "Reds", playing 291 matches and scoring 4 goals. He was team captain from 1931 to 1934.
Nicknamed "Tiny" despite his huge physique, Bradshaw initially was deployed as wing-half at Bury, but was turned into a centre-half either in the midfield or in the defensive line at Liverpool. He was a giant made of pure strength that he constantly showed in Liverpool’s back-line. Yet, he was surprisingly agile for his size. Even though he was imposing, he was extremely fair as he never used sly tricks to stop an opponent, and he was ever guilty of foul play. In fact, his style of play was never rush nor chaotic. He possessed confidence, a calm composure, and a clever ability to hold the ball that he worked well in tight spaces. He was an amazing defensive player, later compared to Ron Yeats for his build, Alan Hansen for his touch, and to John Charles in a more complete sense.
