Arthur Thompson "Tom" Haddon (6 March 1886 — 26 July 1976) was a New Zealand rugby league player.
[1] Tom Haddon played for North Shore Albions from 1910 until 1913 before he joined Grafton Athletic in their first season.
In 1915, he played in several matches later in the season including the final which Grafton won 10 points to 5 over City to claim their only ever first grade title.
[3] After his return from war where he was a Lance Corporal, Haddon first appeared for City Rovers in 1918 in the Auckland Rugby League competition, playing for them against Grafton Athletic in a preliminary round to open the season.
The North Shore senior side had folded almost immediately at the start of the season meaning that Haddon would have been able to transfer easily to the City club.
[7] In 1919 Haddon was again playing for City and in a round two match against North Shore Albions on the Devonport Domain in front of 500 spectators he scored a rare try.
[8] On 9 August, Haddon played for Auckland in a match against Hawke's Bay at Eden Park before a crowd of 9,000.
Haddon had been picked to tour Australia with the New Zealand team in June and July 1919 but due to circumstances was unable to make the trip.
[11] On 6 September, Tom Haddon became Kiwi number 136 when he played lock in front of 24,300 spectators at the Auckland Domain.
[12] In the third test also played on the Domain, New Zealand was heavily beaten by 32 points to 2 with Haddon moving into the prop position.
On October 30, 1926 Haddon made an appearance in an end of season game played between well known league veterans at Carlaw Park.
