Tom Bromilow was a significant figure in the history of Leicester City. He became City’s manager in 1939 and stayed on at Filbert Street until May 1945, helping to guide the Club through the turmoil of the war, winning two wartime trophies in the process.

As a player, he made 375 appearances as a cultured left-half for Liverpool between 1919 and 1930, winning two league titles (in 1922 and 1923) and five England caps. He also represented the Football League in games against the Scottish League and against the Irish league.

He is in the list of ‘100 Players who shook the Kop’. The Club has been privileged to have access to some of Tom’s memorabilia, courtesy of his grandson, Lee Tracy.

Among these mementoes from Tom’s career are two gold medals. The medal in the box was awarded to him when Liverpool became league champions in 1923. The second medal was presented to Tom on the occasion of his selection for the Football League against the Scottish League at Ibrox Park in 1922.

His name has been engraved on the reverse side of the medals, which were both manufactured by the Birmingham firm of Vaughtons.

In 1911, Vaughtons were commissioned by the Football League to make the medals for their divisional titles. They also manufactured the medals awarded to players who were selected to play for the Football League in their regular fixtures against teams such as the Irish and Scottish Leagues.
