*Club domestic league appearances and goals |
Thomas Edward Bing (24 November 1931 – 18 May 2015) was an English professional footballer who played for Margate and Tottenham Hotspur.[1]
Bing was born in Broadstairs and made his debut for Margate reserves in December 1947. The winger played in a total of 37 matches and scored four goals in his first spell with the Kent League club. After impressing Spurs boss Bill Nicholson, the White Hart Lane club paid a four figure sum for his services in September 1954. Bing featured mainly in the club's reserve side and made only one senior appearance in a 3-2 reverse at Bolton Wanderers on 19 October 1957. In July 1959 he returned to his former club and went on to participate in a further 39 matches and netting seven goals.[2]
Outside of football, Bing supplemented his earnings by working as a plumber. Bing died on 18 May 2015.[3]
