William "Billy" Bradshaw (born April 1884)[1] was an English football player and manager. Bradshaw played at both professional and international levels as a left half.

Career

Club career

Born in Padiham, Bradshaw began his career with Padiham and Accrington Stanley. Bradshaw was a left-half, but was extremely adept at joining the attack and was referred to in one report as "being as good as having a sixth forward"; he was also an expert penalty-taker.[2] He signed for Blackburn Rovers in May 1903 for a fee of £20,[2] and spent 17 years at the club, scoring 36 goals in 386 appearances in the Football League before leaving in 1920.[3] During his time at the Ewood Park club, he helped them win the Football League championship in 1912 and 1914.[4]

In April 1920, he was released by Blackburn to become player-manager of Rochdale, but left that position in September of the same year.[2]

International career

Bradshaw made his international debut in February 1910, and earned a total of four caps between then and 1913.[5][6] He also represented the Football League on three occasions.[2]
