William Bradley was an English professional footballer who made over 130 appearances as a goalkeeper in the Football League for Newcastle United.[1][3][4] Bradley was a member of Newcastle United's 1923–24 FA Cup-winning squad.[5]
Bradley served at home as a gunner in the Royal Garrison Artillery and the Tank Corps during the First World War.[6] Football kept him "largely out of the horrors of the First World War, with the army utilising him for morale-boosting exhibition matches".[7]
