About Harry Grundy
Lived 1881 – 1948 (aged 66–67). Harry Grundy was a British association football player.
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. He also played in the Midland League for Lincoln City, and in the Southern and Western Leagues for Reading.
Life and career Grundy was born in Neston, Cheshire, to William and Elizabeth Grundy. 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. 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.
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". Grundy played for Reading in both Southern and Western Leagues.
He signed for Lincoln City, then bottom of the Second Division, in time to play in the last three games of the season, 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.
