Who was Thomas Griffiths?

Thomas Percival Griffiths was a Welsh international footballer of the 1930s.

Tom Griffiths was born in Moss Valley, Wrexham. A centre-half, Griffiths was a tall, rangy player who joined home-town club Wrexham in 1922, transferring to Everton in 1926. Despite his efforts the Merseysiders were relegated at the end of that season. After 78 games for the Toffees, Griffiths was sold to Bolton Wanderers, where he again faced a relegation battle, and he was to go on to play 48 League games for Wanderers.
