Tom Gracie
Thomas "Tom" Gracie (12 June 1889 – 23 October 1915) was a Scottish professional footballer and, latterly, a corporal in the 16th Battalion of The Royal Scots. He was the joint-leading scorer in the Scottish Football League in the 1914-15 season.
==Career==
Born in Yorkhill, Glasgow, Gracie studied bookkeeping upon leaving school before finding work as a meatsalesman. He was concurrently playing for Shawfield, then Strathclyde FC but in 1907 he was offered the chance to move into League football when approached by Airdrieonians, third-placed finishers the previous season. After short spells with Hamilton Academical and Arthurlie, he joined Morton in 1909.
In 1911, Gracie was selected as a reserve for Scotland's game against England at Goodison Park. Although he wasn't required to play, and would never gain an international cap, the journey proved profitable for him as he was signed by Everton at the game's conclusion.〔 A season later he switched to the red half of Merseyside, signing for Liverpool in an exchange deal which saw Harold Uren move to Everton in exchange for Gracie and Bill Lacey. Unlike Lacey, however, Gracie was unable to establish himself in the Liverpool first team, making only sporadic appearances in his two and a half seasons at Anfield. When the opportunity arose to return to Scotland in 1914, he was glad to take it, admitting to feeling "unappreciated".〔 in the south.
Gracie’s destination was Hearts, manager John McCartney paying £400 for him as a replacement for the recently sold Percy Dawson. The ''Maroons'' were a rapidly emerging side and started the 1914-15 season with eight straight victories, including a 2-0 defeat of reigning champions Celtic in which Gracie scored, to become early league-leaders and title-favourites. Gracie was selected for the Scottish League XI in November 1914.
