Thomas "Sturdy" Maxwell was a Scottish football forward who played in Scotland, England and the United States.
Career
In 1921, Maxwell took part in a tour of North America, organised by Third Lanark.[1] At the time he played for Dunfermline Athletic.[1] Maxwell played in a 9 July 1921 game against Canada during the tour.[1][2] The game was not officially an international match and therefore he did not receive a cap.[1][2] In October 1921, Maxwell signed with Arsenal, but played only one game and he then moved to Clyde.
In January 1923, Maxwell signed with Bethlehem Steel of the American Soccer League.[3] He played three seasons with Bethlehem, winning the 1924 American Cup with them. In March 1924, he was ejected from the Easter final of the 1923-24 National Challenge Cup for an altercation with Alec Lorimer.[4] In 1925, Bethlehem released Maxwell who signed with the New Bedford Whalers.[5] In 1928, Maxwell began the season with the Whalers. In October 1928, the Whalers briefly moved to the Eastern Soccer League, then rejoined the American Soccer League a few games later. During this turmoil, Maxwell left the Whalers and joined Centennial of the ESL.[6] On 31 December 1928, the Centennials loaned Maxwell to Bethlehem Steel for one league game.[7] In March 1929, Philadelphia sent Maxwell to Bethlehem Steel.[8]
