Tom Pyle (29 November 1875 â 20 December 1958) was an English footballer who played in the Football League for Lincoln City as an inside or outside left.
Pyle appeared infrequently for Lincoln's first team, making only 30 appearances in senior competition over six seasons. In March 1899 â four years after his Football League debut â the Sheffield Independent described him as "a local youth who had been introduced at outside left", who "played a very fine game, and was on more than one occasion the recipient of a splendid ovation at the hands of the spectators" as Lincoln beat Newton Heath 2âÂÂ0. Pyle opened the scoring in Lincoln's next game, a 2âÂÂ2 draw with Small Heath, and his third and last senior goal came on the opening day of the 1899âÂÂ1900 Football League season, in a 3âÂÂ0 defeat of Middlesbrough. He also played local football in the Lincoln area.
He later worked as a bricklayer in Lincoln, where he died in 1958.
