About Tom Baddeley
Lived 1874 – 1946 (aged 71). Tom Baddeley was a British association football player.
Later career After making a total of 315 appearances in an 11-year stay at Molineux, he left Wolves in 1907 for Southern League side Bradford Park Avenue. They finished 13th in 1907–08, and were then elected into the English Football League. He played in their first-ever league match in September 1908, as the club went on to finish in 16th place in 1908–09 and 10th place in 1909–10. However, he returned to the Midlands with Stoke after failing to become a regular in the Bradford team. His stay at the Victoria Ground proved short, though, and he played seven Birmingham & District League games in the 1909–10 season before he dropped into non-League action with nearby Whitfield Colliery, before retiring in May 1911.
International career Baddeley made his England debut on 14 February 1903, in a 4–0 win over Ireland at his home club ground of Molineux. He won four further caps over the next 14 months, playing against Scotland (twice), Wales, and Ireland again.
