Paddy Bradshaw (16 March 1912 –11 March 1963)[1] was an Irish footballer who played for St James's Gate and Shelbourne in the League of Ireland. Bradshaw was something of a late bloomer, making his League of Ireland debut at the age of 26, before then going onto enjoy a brief but meteoric career during the seasons approaching the Second World War. A month after making his senior league debut, he made his international debut for Ireland and went on to make 5 appearances and score 4 goals during the 1938–39 international season. He was also the top goal scorer in the League of Ireland for two consecutive seasons, helping St James's Gate win the league title in 1940.
