Carl Bradshaw (born 2 October 1968 in Sheffield) is a former professional footballer who played for Sheffield Wednesday, Barnsley, Manchester City, Sheffield United, Norwich City, Wigan Athletic and Scunthorpe Utd (where he scored once against Exeter City).[1] He began his career playing as a forward before moving to defence.
Bradshaw's first club was Sheffield Wednesday. However, his first senior appearance came in a loan spell at Barnsley.[2] He joined Manchester City in September 1988, in a swap with Imre Varadi.[3] His Manchester City debut came in October 1988, as a substitute against West Bromwich Albion. He started the following match, against Sunderland, but this proved to be his only start for the club.[2] In a year at Manchester City he made a total of seven appearances. He then transferred to Sheffield United in September 1989.[2]
In September 1997, Bradshaw served a short prison sentence after an incident involving himself and Norwich teammate Andy Johnson that resulted in Bradshaw assaulting a taxi driver.[4][5] His contract with Norwich was subsequently cancelled after being released from prison, and he signed with Wigan Athletic.
