Sturdy Maxwell
Thomas "Sturdy" Maxwell was a Scottish football forward who played in Scotland, England and the United States.

Career
In 1921, Maxwell took part in a tour of North America, organised by Third Lanark. At the time he played for Dunfermline Athletic. Maxwell played in a 9 July 1921 game against Canada during the tour. The game was not officially an international match and therefore he did not receive a cap. In October 1921, Maxwell signed with Arsenal, but played only one game and he then moved to Clyde.

In January 1923, Maxwell signed with Bethlehem Steel of the American Soccer League. He played three seasons with Bethlehem, winning the 1924 American Cup with them. In March 1924, he was ejected from the Easter final of the 1923-24 National Challenge Cup for an altercation with Alec Lorimer. In 1925, Bethlehem released Maxwell who signed with the New Bedford Whalers. In 1928, Maxwell began the season with the Whalers. In October 1928, the Whalers briefly moved to the Eastern Soccer League, then rejoined the American Soccer League a few games later. During this turmoil, Maxwell left the Whalers and joined Centennial of the ESL. On 31 December 1928, the Centennials loaned Maxwell to Bethlehem Steel for one league game. In March 1929, Philadelphia sent Maxwell to Bethlehem Steel.
