Tommy Priestley

Thomas James Montgomery Priestley (11 March 1911 – 28 July 1985) was a Northern Irish footballer who played at both professional and international levels as a striker.

Born in Belfast, Priestley wore a rugby-style skull cap to cover his premature baldness.

Priestley moved to Linfield in 1932, before signing with English side Chelsea just a year later.

Priestley only spent one season with Chelsea - making 23 appearances in The Football League - before returning to Ireland with Shelbourne.
