Thomas William Sword (born 12 November 1957) is a former professional football defender, who primarily played for Stockport County and has since been inducted into their Hall of Fame.
Sword enjoyed a successful transition from striker to defender, playing out the remainder of his career at the back.
Despite playing from defence, he maintained a good scoring record thanks mostly to converting 25 penalties.
Sword was transferred to Hartlepool for £5,000 in July 1986, but soon returned to County for a brief stint to finish his footballing career.
He was awarded a testimonial against Manchester City soon after finishing playing professionally.
