William George Bloomfield (25 August 1939 – September 2003) was an English footballer who played as an inside left in the Football League for Brentford.[2]
Bloomfield joined Third Division South club Brentford at a young age and made his senior debut on 19 April 1957,[2] in a 2–2 West London derby draw with Queens Park Rangers at Loftus Road.[3] He made one further first team appearance against Coventry City in September 1957.[3] Bloomfield spent much of his time at Griffin Park playing for the reserves, scoring 28 goals in 98 appearances.[2] He retired in January 1960 due to failing eyesight and scored a hat-trick in his final reserve team match versus Gillingham.[4]
