George Bradburn (footballer)

George Bradburn (1894–1975) was an English footballer who played as a centre-half for Southampton and Walsall in the years immediately after World War I. Bradburn was born in Wolverhampton and was on the books of Walsall in the immediate pre-war period.

During the war, he moved to Southern England and was employed at the Whitehead Torpedo Works in Weymouth, Dorset.

He played in the Garrison League throughout the war and also made one guest appearance for Southampton in 1917.

Described as a "strong, rugged centre-half",[1] Bradburn displaced Alec Campbell at centre-half on the restart of League football in 1919, making 28 appearances in the Southern League, before Campbell regained his place in March.

In 1922, Bradburn was given a free transfer[1] back to Walsall, for whom he made 12 appearances in the Football League Third Division North before his career came to an end.
