Tom Pyle (q4 1875 – 20 December 1958) was an English footballer who played in the Football League for Lincoln City as an inside or outside left.[2]
Pyle appeared infrequently for Lincoln's first team, making only 30 appearances in senior competition over six seasons.[1] In March 1899 – four years after his Football League debut – 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 2–0.[3] Pyle opened the scoring in Lincoln's next game, a 2–2 draw with Small Heath,[4] and his third and last senior goal came on the opening day of the 1899–1900 Football League season, in a 3–0 defeat of Middlesbrough.[5] He also played local football in the Lincoln area.[2]
