Thomas McDermott (12 January 1878 – 30 June 1961) was a Scottish professional footballer who played as an inside forward.
Born in Bridgeton, Glasgow,[2] McDermott spent his early career with Cambuslang Hibernian, Dundee,[3] [4] [5] [6] Celtic (winning the British League Cup and playing on the losing side in the 1902 Scottish Cup Final),[7] Everton of England's top division[8] (making 29 appearances in 1904–05 as the team missed out on the Football League title by a point) and second-tier, newly-formed Chelsea.[9]
After a second spell at Dundee (where they were Scottish Football League runners-up in 1906–07),[10] [11] he joined Bradford City from Hibernian in February 1908.[12] He made 8 league appearances for the West Yorkshire club, scoring once.[13] [1] He left the club in November 1908 to join Gainsborough Trinity;[12] early in the following year was he back in Scotland featuring for Kilmarnock,[14] followed by Forfar Athletic and the newly-formed Dundee Hibernian.[15] [16]
He later returned to the north-west of England, playing with amateur teams Anfield Royal,[1] St Helens Recreation (better known as a rugby league team) and Wirral Railway's works team.[17] Back in Scotland, he then signed for Vale of Leven and Broxburn Shamrock[1] before coming home to the Glasgow area to play for Clyde in 1913.[1] [18]
