Thomas Ferguson (30 January 1898 – 13 June 1955) was a Scottish footballer who played as a goalkeeper. He spent his entire senior career, spanning 13 years, with Falkirk, and holds the club record for appearances (almost 500 in the Scottish Football League and Scottish Cup).[5][2] He was selected for the Scottish Football League XI three times[6] and in 1923 he was a member of a squad organised by Third Lanark that toured South America.[7][8]
