Thomas Edward McGhee (10 May 1929 – 19 May 2018) was an English footballer best known for his spell at Portsmouth FC during the 1950s, making 136 appearances which gained him England recognition at Amateur and 'B' level.
He later spent two years at the Stretford Technical College, opposite Lancashire County Cricket Club's ground and about half a mile from Old Trafford.
Portsmouth's manager Eddie Lever was impressed with the full back when he turned out for a senior service side against a FA eleven on 31 December 1953.
In May 1954, Lever, knowing that McGhee was being sought after by tops clubs including Tottenham Hotspur, was tipped off that the 25-year-old Petty Officer was on Portsmouth Harbour about to leave for his home in Manchester.
McGhee's Pompey career began in the reserve team, but in November he was handed his senior debut at home to Everton which Portsmouth won 5–0.
He made tremendous progress, forging a very successful full-back partnership with Jack Mansell and he played in every remaining fixture of the 1954–55 season which saw Pompey finish 3rd in Division 1.
