Thomas Wilkie (1876 – 8 January 1932)[1] was a Scottish footballer who played as a defender for Liverpool in The Football League. Wilkie signed for Liverpool from Heart of Midlothian[2] [3] during the 1895–96 season, appearing in 20 of the 30 league matches. He established himself as the first choice left-back the following campaign, appearing in 25 consecutive matches; however, he played less frequently in the subsequent seasons and in 1899 he was sold to newly formed Portsmouth,[4] for whom he made 178 appearances in all competitions (104 in the Southern League) during his five years at the Hampshire club.[1] He later emigrated to Australia.[1]
