Thomas Mulgrew (13 April 1929 – 12 January 2016)[2] was a Scottish professional footballer who played most of his career as an inside forward, for Southampton.
Born in Motherwell, he started his football career with Morton in March 1948, before moving to England firstly with Northampton (from July 1949).
In October 1952 he joined Newcastle where he made fourteen First Division appearances[3] but found it difficult to claim a regular place, having to compete with Reg Davies and Ivor Broadis.
[citation needed] Mulgrew went on to score eight league goals that season, as Saints narrowly missed out on promotion to the Second Division.
He had a brief spell in non-league football before moving to Northampton, where he worked in a steel factory in Rothwell until his retirement.
